The anterior neurocranium comprises large olfactory capsules, which are cartilaginous, and the anterior part of the braincase. The medial walls of the nasal capsules are narrowly separated, with the internasal septum apparently being composed of a thin plate of cartilage between the capsule walls; a minute, ossified septomaxilla is present, but obscured by the staining of the anterior nasal capsule cartilages (

Dorsal investing bones are poorly developed. The nasals are thin and widely separated from one another; they cover a large area of the nasal capsules dorsally. The frontoparietals are well-developed bones, separated medially, and separated from the prootics. The frontoparietal bears a lamina perpendicularis, the vertical component forming the dorsolateral edge of the braincase (

). The anterior end of the process is tapered; the parasphenoid is separated from the neopalatines. The lateral margins of the process are approximately parallel; anteriorly, the margins converge gradually towards one another and make contact with the medial margin of the sphenoid. The parasphenoid alae are moderately long (about equal to the width of the cultriform process), slightly posterolaterally oriented, and distally truncate beneath the midwidth of the otic capsules. A posteromedial process is present, but distinctly separated from the margin of the foramen magnum (

The triradiate pterygoid bears a curved anterior ramus that is oriented anterolaterally toward the maxilla, with which it has an area of close proximity. The pterygoid is separated from the maxilla by the pterygoid cartilage, which lies along the medial margin of the maxilla in the orbital region. The medial and posterior rami of the pterygoid are about equal in length; however, the medial ramus is more robust than the posterior. The edge of the medial ramus overlaps the lateral edge of the ossified margin of the prootic.
