MUSTELIDAE INDET. View in CoL

Referred specimens —Left dentary fragment with p4, m1, and alveoli for m2, UCMP 39958.

Occurrence — UCMP V 67153.

Description and Remarks —UCMP 39958 is described in Downs (1951). The talonid and trigonid are about equal in length. The talonid is slightly basined with an internal cingulum that merges with the metaconid. The hypoconid is separated from the protoconid by a deep, worn groove. The trigonid is open with a medium-sized metaconid, posterior to the protoconid. The p4 has a posterior notch. It is unlike the Barstovian mustelid Plionictis Matthew, 1924 in that the trigonid of m1 is not much longer than the talonid and the talonid
