Exempel på hur man kan använda CARNASSIAL i en mening

• The bush dog is one of three canid species (the other two being the dhole and the African wild dog) with trenchant heel dentition, having a single cusp on the talonid of the lower carnassial tooth that increases the cutting blade length.
• It is, however, more adapted to a carnivorous diet than the other jackals, as shown by its well-developed carnassial shear and the longer cutting blade of the premolars.
• The lower carnassial (m1) of Speothos lacks the entoconid, creating a trenchant (cutting) heel on the tooth.
• Wang and Tedford propose that they arose in North America 66–60 million years ago, spread to Asia then later to Europe, and were the first carnivoramorphans and possessed the first true pair of carnassial teeth.
• Mook proposed that an overbite in crocodilians could serve a similar function as the carnassial teeth of mammalian predators, being used to break and slice.
• The strong jaw musculature specialized for up-and-down biting rather than side-to-side grinding movement, and the triangular, laterally compressed premolars and molars with carnassial notches of Ankalagon are typical of mesonychids.
• Its dental morphology includes both mustelid (reduced m2) and feliform (slit-like carnassial notch, loss of metaconid on m2, presence of parastyle on P4) features, and Palaeogale is typically placed in Carnivora incertae sedis.
• The tall hypoconid is formed into an elongated crest, and is effectively part of the carnassial shear, only separated from the trigonid by a narrow postvallid notch, which is morphologically similar to the carnassial notch.
• The first molar is a crushing carnassial, and its nearly equal development of paraconid and hypoconid flanking the protoconid is typical for both this genus and Mammacyon, although its somewhat larger hypoconid showcases the greater adaptions towards crushing in Delotrochanter.
• The genus name is a combination of Greek lonch, meaning spear and referencing the spear-like paraconid on its lower carnassial, and cyon, meaning dog.
• The mesial cristids of the protoconid, paraconid, and the strongly developed hypoconid are aligned to form the carnassial blade.
