Parotodus mangyshlakensis          

One of the rare species of the middle Eocene (lower Bartonian - 40 mya) from Tushbair, W. Kazakhstan. This is described as an early Paratodus. These teeth are quite large for this species. This species had an interesting diet that would wear the tooth ends - very unusual. These new teeth are the first to come out of the Tushbair site for 5 years.
