What reading level is On the Flat Clawed Carnivora of the Eocene of Wyoming book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Conclusion. In summing up, it may be accepted as a result of the above analysis that the genus Mesonyx represents a family of Carnivorci digitigrada, distinct from any now living on the globe. The form of the astragalus renders it probable that the inner toe is wanting or rudimental, and that there were four digits on the hind foot. The foot was also short 4 and the claws flat, -and altogether without prehensile use, but rather adapted for aquatic life. The number of molars exceeds that in any ...re- cent family of Carnivora except the Protelidat-, and their sectorial form al- lies it at once to the extinct Hycenodontida. To this family the genus Mesonyx may indeed be for the present referred. Among recent families it approaches nearest the Canidw, but has structures borrowed from others, while its numerous molars constitute a point of greater general- ization than any. Although sectorials, this character is not nearly so marked as in the existing Carnivora, the cutting edge being obtuse and occupying half the crown only, while the elevated cone occupying the remainder distinguishes the genus from these and from Hycenodon also.
