Summary: | Fig. 62. Comparison of the cuboids of (A) Daphoenodon superbus, (B) Mammacyon ferocior, (C) Canis lupus, and (D) Amphicyon galushai. In temnocyonines and daphoenines, the proximal (upper) ectocuneiform facet (ec) is well separated from the navicular facet (n) but in Amphicyon they are confluent. The wolf cuboid has two navicular facets, one in direct contact with the ectocuneiform facet. In D. superbus the cuboid also contacts the astragalus (a), likely the plesiomorphic state in both daphoenines and temnocyonines. A, left cuboid; B, C, D, right. : Published as part of Hunt, Robert M., 2011, Evolution Of Large Carnivores During The Mid-Cenozoic Of North America: The Temnocyonine Radiation (Mammalia, Amphicyonidae), pp. 1-153 in Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 2011 (358) on page 125, DOI: 10.1206/358.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4610748 |
