Dentition, small ruminants

Dentition, small ruminants

Skull of a small ruminant with visible dentition labeled. When canine teeth are present, they are in line with the incisor teeth in the mandibular arch and grossly appear similar to the incisors. Incisors are single rooted, and the premolars and molars are multirooted. Two additional images show occlusal views of the mandibular and maxillary arches.
