Notes
|
In differentiation of these remains from other large canids the following dimensions show clearly that this specimen, identified as Xenocyon differs from Canis lupus (wolf, from Barnwell Cave, Somerset or Oreston Cave, Plymouth) and Cani
s
dirus (dire wolf).
|
Note
|
JS Xenocyon lacaonoides : m1 length = 29 mm; width = 20 mm ratio = 1.45
|
Note
|
JS Xenocyon lacaonoides : M1 (carnassial) length = 28.5 mm; ratio M1/m1 = 0.98
|
Note
|
Canis lupus (Hutton and Barnwell Cave or Oreston Cave, Plymouth) : M1 length = 7.5 mm; width 9 mm ratio = 0.835
|
Note
|
Canis lupus m1:M1 = 0.835
|
Note
|
Canis dirus : l/w ratio = 1.125
|
Note
|
Canis lupus : m1:M1 = 1.50
