CF. DORATODON SP.

Localities: Els Nerets.

Material: IPS-105945 ( Fig. 2Y–Z View Figure 2 ).

Description: A single and incomplete blunt tooth that is rounded in outline. It is wider (estimated 9.6 mm) than high (6.3 mm). In occlusal view, the tooth is compressed labiolingually. The preserved carina bears well-marked denticles located towards the lingual face. Enamel is unornamented. Whether a constriction occurs between the base and the crown is not possible to assess due to preservation.

Remarks: The general shape of the tooth ‒ a low and mesiodistally elongated crown ‒ points to a posterior position in the dental series. Other features are congruent with those observed in Doratodon ( Company et al., 2005; Rabi & Sebők, 2015). Thus, this morphotype could be referred to the same taxon as morphotype III.
