Tragelaphus cf. strepsiceros (Pallas, 1766)
Molars attributed to Tragelaphus are characterized by a caprinelike shape, such as a simple occlusal and central cavity outlines. Ribs and styles are not well developed. The basal pillar is absent from upper molars but small on the lower ones. The goat-fold is absent on lower molars. Premolars are large and characterized by the paraconid-metaconid fusion. The teeth are not hypsodont. Unfortunately, no horn-cores have been found. The specimen CD 5399, a lower second molar, is similar in size to the common Swartkrans kudu (T. strepsiceros) (Table 4).
