Intermaxillary with a rosette of 7 small teeth, then 3 irregular pairs, followed by a nearly linear row of 13 small teeth on the vomer, becoming smaller posteriorly. Maxillary dentition biserial. An inner row of 8–11 teeth begins behind level of anterior nostril, flanked by an outer row of 25–27 teeth, becoming smaller and closer set posteriorly. Mandibular teeth in a single row of 27–29 teeth, becoming smaller posteriorly, flanked by a short anterior inner row of 4–5 teeth.
