The premaxilla is weakly modified compared to the general odontocete plan. It occupies the margins of the mesorostral groove in dorsal view and the upturned apex of the rostrum, ventrally appearing on the first third of the rostrum. At the apex of the maxilla, the rostrum has a width of respectively 60 and

. The mesorostral groove is partially filled by the thickened lateral walls of the vomer, leaving an open median V-shaped groove. The development of the vomer in the mesorostral groove combined with high-density bone tissue is mostly observed in ziphiids (see above). Ventrally, the exposure of the vomer is respectively 290 and

The maxilla is highly modified; the lateral margin is considerably elevated laterodorsally along the posterior two thirds of the rostrum. This lateral maxillary crest is robust at its base, progressively thinning dorsally. The maximum height of the crest is mid-way along the rostrum.The two crests anteriorly delimit a wide and deep basin, ending at some distance before the apex of the maxilla. The inner wall of the crest is striated with vascularization sulci, best seen in SAM PQ 2717. On this specimen, the outer wall of the crest, continuous with the wide ventral surface of the rostrum, bears a shallow alveolar groove punctuated by a series of rounded protuberances interpreted as unerupted teeth. No alveolar groove is observed in SAM PQ 2719. The basin is considerably larger in SAM PQ 2717 (maximum width and height of the rostrum respectively 230 and
