ResumoA morphological and morphometrical study is performed on a collection of kuehneotheriid isolated molars (uppers and lowers) from the Late Triassic of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port (Meurthe-et-Moselle, France). It is shown that individual and random variability is dominant in this hypodigm and that, for this reason, no specific trend can be recognised which could validly isolate it taxonomically from the British taxon Kuehneotherium praecursoris. Wear facets are analysed and a progressive wear series as well as the occlusion pattern are reconstructed.
