The preorbital length, rostrum included, represents 59.5 % of the total length of the skull. The rostrum consists of the prefrontals, the premaxillae, the mesethmoid and the parasphenoid. Only the most posterior parts of the mesethmoid and of the parasphenoid are visible. Both the prefrontal and the premaxilla form the tip of the rostrum. The long and broad prefrontal bears four small spines on its anterior tip as seen on sample CLC S-337. The upper margin of the prefrontal is ornamented with small spines. The vomer remains hidden by the premaxilla. A vomer with very small molariform teeth is present in the family, as shown in some other gladiopycnodontid genera.

The dermosupraoccipital is enlarged and forms a long and broad nuchal process. The autosphenotic, parietal and dermopterotic are rather small bones. The parietal does not bear a brush-like process.

The posttemporal is well developed and located just behind the hypercleithrum. The hypercleithrum (= supracleithrum) is a large triangular bone with some spines on its posterior border. The cleithrum is really gigantic, with a very broad dorsal branch and a very long, broad and pointed ventral branch reaching the lower jaw level. There are two large postcleithra well visible on sample CLC S-337 and located behind the cleithrum.

CLC S-608a, b shows a complete vertebral column. The notochord is incompletely surrounded by the neural and haemal arches, which are reduced. The neural and haemal spines are well developed. There are 17 neural spines before the epichordal series and 17 haemal spines before the hypochordal series. The first ten neural spines are thin. The seven other spines are shorter but also broader. The first three haemal spines are rather short. Their length progressively increases from the fourth to sixth one and then decreases from the seventh to the seventeenth. The neural and haemal spines are not interlocked together by interdigitating sutures. The presence of ribs is uncertain, the
