contents We investigate magnetotransport on Bernal-stacked tetralayer graphene whose band structure consists of two massive subbands with different effective masses. Under a finite displacement field, we observe valley splitting of Landau levels (LLs) only in the light-mass subband, consistent with a tight-binding model. At low density, we find unexpected magnetoconductance oscillations in bulk gaps which originate from a series of hybridizations between electron-like and hole-like LLs due to band inversion in tetralayer graphene. In contrast to a trivial LL quantization gap, these inverted hybridization gaps can lead to a change in number of edge states which explains the observed oscillations.
