Table 2. Dimensions (mm) of lower dentition of Archaeopithecus rogeri.MD = mesiodistal diameter; LL = labiolingual diameter; SW = stage of wear: 1, little; 2, middle; 3, heavy; CV (coefficient of variation) = 100×(SD/mean). Approximate values in parentheses. Dashes represent not measured dimensions (broken tooth or alveolus).

Mean values for each model and taxon, as well as the average total, are listed in Table 3. Additionally, the obtained values are compared with those previously inferred for archaeopithecids and notopithecines (Elissamburu, 2012; Vera, 2013b) and for other similar-sized notoungulates (Scarano et al., 2011; Cassini et al., 2012a, 2012b; Elissamburu, 2012).
