Collectively the figured maxillary specimens show that this bone could be relatively large and robust, the pars facialis is moderately high, the margo orbitalis is shallowly concave in labial or lingual outline, the processus palatinus is well developed, the processus zygomatico-maxillaris is moderately tall and dorsolingually bears a facet for articulation with the squamosal, the lamina horizontalis is a well-developed bony shelf, the processus pterygoideus is robust, wing-shaped, and projects posterolingually for a short distance, and the posterior end of the tooth row (not intact in any specimen) extends back at least to the level of the processus pterygoideus. None of the maxillae has intact teeth, however, OMNH 23837 preserves several bicuspid replacement crowns in situ along the lingual surface of the crista dentalis (not figured). Although the lamina horizontalis is consistently deep along the suborbital region in all specimens, variation is evident in other aspects of its structure. In some specimens the lamina horizontalis may be relatively narrow (i.e., labio-lingual width less than vertical depth) and its lingual face shallowly convex and lingually directed (OMNH 23837;

) is an incomplete bone from the left side. It preserves the dorsal and posterior portions of the lamella alaris. Its medial surface preserves the broken base of the processus posterolateralis. The processus posterodorsalis is intact; that process is acuminate in medial or lateral outline, appears to have projected posterodorsally, and its smooth dorsal margin indicates it did not contact the frontoparietal. The smooth posterior face of the posterior margin of the squamosal and its overall shallowly concave profile suggest it formed the anterior rim of the tympanum.

Differences in size and lingual structure among the specimens assigned to our morph 1, plus the extensive latitudinal spread among their localities, suggest that our morph 1 grouping contains several species. Better preserved specimens will be needed to tease those species apart.
