Afrosmilus

Afrosmilus is a fossil genus of afrosmilin barbourofelid. Sivasmilus and Afrosmilus are Barbourofelidae, fossil taxa described in 1929, Miocene carnivorans and Prehistoric carnivoran genera.

See Sivasmilus and Afrosmilus

Barbourofelidae is an extinct family of carnivorans of the suborder Feliformia, sometimes known as false saber-toothed cats, that lived in North America, Eurasia and Africa during the Miocene epoch (16.9—9.0 million years ago) and existed for about. Sivasmilus and Barbourofelidae are Miocene carnivorans.

Canine tooth

In mammalian oral anatomy, the canine teeth, also called cuspids, dogteeth, eye teeth, vampire teeth, or vampire fangs, are the relatively long, pointed teeth.

Cingulum (tooth)

In dentistry, cingulum (Latin: girdle or belt) refers to an anatomical feature of the teeth.

Diastema

A diastema (diastemata, from Greek διάστημα, 'space') is a space or gap between two teeth.

Foramen

In anatomy and osteology, a foramen (foramina, or foramens) is an opening or enclosed gap within the dense connective tissue (bones and deep fasciae) of extant and extinct amniote animals, typically to allow passage of nerves, arteries, veins or other soft tissue structures (e.g. muscle tendon) from one body compartment to another.

Holotype

A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

Machairodontinae

Machairodontinae is an extinct subfamily of carnivoran mammals of the family Felidae (true cats).

Mandible

In jawed vertebrates, the mandible (from the Latin mandibula, 'for chewing'), lower jaw, or jawbone is a bone that makes up the lowerand typically more mobilecomponent of the mouth (the upper jaw being known as the maxilla).

See Sivasmilus and Mandible

Maxilla

In vertebrates, the maxilla (maxillae) is the upper fixed (not fixed in Neopterygii) bone of the jaw formed from the fusion of two maxillary bones.

Paramachaerodus

Paramachaerodus is an extinct genus of saber-tooth cat of the subfamily Machairodontinae, which was endemic to Eurasia during the Middle and Late Miocene from 15 to 9 Ma. Sivasmilus and Paramachaerodus are Prehistoric carnivoran genera.

The premolars, also called premolar teeth, or bicuspids, are transitional teeth located between the canine and molar teeth.

Salt Range

The Salt Range (سلسلہ کوہ نمک) is a mountain range in the north of Punjab province of Pakistan, deriving its name from its extensive deposits of rock salt.

Sivaelurus

Sivaelurus is a fossil genus of felid containing only a single species, S. chinjiensis, which was described based on a partial right maxilla collected from the Chinji Formation in the Lower Siwaliks. Sivasmilus and Sivaelurus are Prehistoric carnivoran genera.
