Solenodon paradoxus grooved incisors

Keeping up with the previous post, here’s a picture of the mandible of a Hispaniolan Solenodon. Notice that I have made an enlargement of the anterior part, outline in the top picture, to show the groove present on its second incisor. The red lines outline the borders of the groove. The specimen was collected in the Dominican Republic and is in the collection of the Department of Paleobiology at the National Museum of Natural History.
