Like them, " Chilotherium " gradually evolved into specialised grazers, including hypsodont teeth and shortened metapodials.
12.
The original ancestors were " minute brachydont animals " . " Elasmotherium " was a " mammoth-sized hypsodont ".
13.
Massive grazers, such as " Elasmotherium ", maximally hypsodont, moved across vast ranges consuming C 4 grass in bulk.
14.
All other gondwanatheres, including " Lavanify ", are placed in the Sudamericidae, which have high-crowned ( hypsodont ) teeth.
15.
The cheek teeth are brachydont and bunodont in primitive genera, but hypsodont in later genera such as " Desmostylus ", which has many supernumerary cusps.
16.
At least two lineages of allotheres, Taeniolabidoidea and Gondwanatheria, developed hypsodont teeth, the latter being probably among the first mammals to be able to process grass.
17.
The small, high-crowned "'skull "'displays large, oval infraorbital foramina, small auditory Molars are rooted and semi-hypsodont.
18.
Low-crowned and bladelike teeth as seen in ferugliotheriids may have been evolutionary precursors of the high-crowned ( hypsodont ) teeth of the other gondwanathere family, Sudamericidae.
19.
The molars are somewhat hypsodont ( high-crowned ), though less so than in " Eliurus ", and the third molars are reduced in size and complexity.
20.
Like " Eliurus ", " Voalavo " has moderately high-crowned ( hypsodont ) cusps, but of transverse laminae ( plates ) that generally lack longitudinal connections.
