Talmud for Bekhorot 6:9

מַעֲשֶׂה שֶׁהַלְּחִי הַתַּחְתּוֹן עוֹדֵף עַל הָעֶלְיוֹן, וְשָׁלַח רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל לַחֲכָמִים וְאָמְרוּ, הֲרֵי זֶה מוּם. אֹזֶן הַגְּדִי שֶׁהָיְתָה כְפוּלָה, אָמְרוּ חֲכָמִים, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהִיא עֶצֶם אֶחָד, מוּם. וְאִם אֵינָהּ עֶצֶם אֶחָד, אֵינָהּ מוּם. רַבִּי חֲנַנְיָא בֶן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, זְנַב הַגְּדִי שֶׁהִיא דוֹמָה לְשֶׁל חֲזִיר, וְשֶׁאֵין בָּהּ שָׁלשׁ חֻלְיוֹת, הֲרֵי זֶה מוּם:

It once happened that the lower jaw extended longer than the upper one, and Rabban Shimon Ben Gamliel sent [an inquiry] to the Sages and they said it is a blemish. The ear of a kid which was doubled - the Sages said: if it is a single upper lobe, it is a blemish, but if there isn't a single upper lobe, it is not a blemish. Rabbi Chaninah ben Gamliel says, the tail of a kid which looks like [that] of a pig or if it does not have three vertebrae, it is a blemish.
