The detailed study of this specimen has revealed that the supposed features which they considered to be generically distinctive for Cyclogomphodon either do not exist or that their validity falls away when this specimen is considered, in an ontogenetic context, as a not yet fully grown individual. It is concluded that this fossil represents a medium-sized, "juvenile", individual of DiademodonenArticle
