Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. Croitor 2006 | Medium-sized species, slightly larger than the present day fallow deer. The antler beam is compressed dorso-ventrally in its proximal part. The distal part of the antler is compressed latero-medially. The subbasal and dorsal tines are missing. The basal tine is straight, pointed, inserted on the lateral side of the beam and pointed forward. The middle tine is compressed dorso-ventrally. The posterior tine may be variably positioned with respect to the middle tine. The central portion of the antler has large, flat posterior crown tines, which may form a small palmation. The distal part of the antler may have small ramifications on the anterior and posterior sides of the beam. The burr is set obliquely with respect to the beam. The pedicles are slightly compressed dorso-ventrally. The cranial morphology is not paedomorphic and the skull has the ordinary proportions of a medium size deer. The nasal bones do not extend beyond the line across the anterior edges of the orbits. The ethmoidal openings are normally broad, but they may be smaller in some cases. The size of the preorbital fossae is variable. The praemaxillary bones are broad and square-shaped. The mandible’s diastema is shorter than the lower molar row length. The fourth lower premolar is not molarised. The metapodials are rather long and slender. |
