The largest anterior alveoli, although separated, are the third and the fourth ones, but the fifth one is almost the same size as the third one. A diastema is present between alveoli five and six, probably to accommodate the enlarged dentary tooth. Then the alveoli globally decrease in size again posteriorly; they are mediolaterally compressed and closely spaced. In ventral view, the alveolar rows globally diverge posterolaterally, with a concavity at the level of the fifth–sixth alveolus. The largest tooth is preserved on each side, in addition to some other fragments of other teeth. Those are caniniform teeth, with no particular carinae or ridges, and they are not compressed mediolaterally.

In both specimens, a crest followed by a depression can be seen, with both being directed anteroposteriorly. Posteriorly, the bone connects medially with the quadratojugal almost all the way to the posterior extremity of the skull and almost participates in the articulation with the mandible. The jugal also forms most of the lateral edge of the orbit; however, it does not form a dorsal bulge in this region. Behind the orbit, the jugal has a dorsomedially angled process, which sutures with the postorbital in an anterolaterally curved suture. The posterior margin of this contact, together with the preserved posterior part of the jugal, forms the lateral and anterolateral margins of the infratemporal fenestra. The contact with the quadratojugal is straight, and no foramina or special ornamentation can be seen in dorsal view.

The symphyseal region remains wide anteriorly and is U-shaped at its anteriormost point. In medial view, the dentary is thin dorsoventrally and forms an acute angle anteriorly. Ventrally and dorsally, the medial suture with the splenial is oblique, directed posterolaterally to anteromedially. The dentary remains uniform in width up to the point of divergence, where it begins to taper off. Posteriorly, the dentary connects dorsally with the surangular, from the end of the toothrow, and ventrally with the angular at its posteriormost part. The ventral surface is smooth, and anteriorly it is curved dorsally. The lateral side shows no groove ventrally to the tooth row. In lateral view, the dorsal margin is sinusoidal, marked by two sets of waves that culminate at the level of the 3rd/4th and 11th/12fth dentary alveoli. There is also a medial depression to accommodate the largest caniniform maxillary tooth at the level of the 9th dentary alveolus, especially visible on the left side. In terms of size, alveoli 4–10 and 13 are relatively small, whereas the 3rd one is the largest, and the 11th and 12th are also large.
