To describe the variation and asymmetry patterns in 220 pine martens, Martes martes (Linnaeus, 1758), and 43 stone martens, Martes foina (Erxleben, 1777), from Poland, some teeth were measured, five groups of morphotypes were distinguished, and congenital oligodonties were counted. Dental characteristics for distinction between M. martes and M. foina, including a few originally described ones, are presented.
