The six species all have high-crowned teeth and should, under the evolutionary model, be grazers.
Similar to Gondwanatherium, this genus had high-crowned teeth, which are very useful for eating grasses.
It has high-crowned teeth indicative of an increased adaptation to a herbivorous diet but lacks the wear facets seen in more advanced forms like Heterodontosaurus.
The expansion of silica-rich C grasses led to worldwide extinctions of herbivorous species without high-crowned teeth.
The mouth is narrow, with 20 rows of distinctive hexagonal, high-crowned teeth in each jaw and five papillae on the mouth floor.
Twenty-one high-crowned teeth are present on either side of the upper jaw, including spoon-shaped incisors.
They had high-crowned, hypsodont teeth which were used to chew gritty vegetation.
The euhypsodonts, of which, surprisingly for its bulk, E. was one, have ever-growing high-crowned teeth.
The development of high-crowned teeth that grew throughout the animal's lifetime would be an answer to this.
Hypsodont dentition is characterized by high-crowned teeth and enamel which extends past the gum line.
