TABLE 1. Overview of the tooth positions (TP), the collision areas (CA), and the teeth involved in the respective collision areas of each tooth position. TP 1 always corresponds to the penultimate lower molar (or dp4 in Lesmesodon edingeri), while TP 2 corresponds to the last lower molar position in each row of teeth for each species.

TABLE 3. CEI for the upper molars. The active CEI is the part of the carnassials that is actively used during the power stroke, while the complete CEI is describes the complete length of the edges. Proviverra typica shows an especially high index, with Sarcophilus harrisii on the expected upper end as well.

TABLE 4. CEI for the lower molars. The active CEI is the part of the carnassials that is actively used during the power stroke, while the complete CEI is describes the complete length of the edges. Sarcophilus harrisii shows the highest value while Lesmesodon edingeri and Civettictis civetta are positioned at the lower end.
