A small ventrally directed retroarticular process is present. The dentary forms the anterior half of the lower jaw. Except for a small posterior area, the lateral surface of the dentary is covered by numerous small pits and grooves. Posteriorly, the surface is smooth and is depressed below the anterior portion of the bone. This arrangement, which is similar to that of dicynodonts, suggests that the muscles extended onto the posterior portion of the dentary and that a horny beak was present anteriorly. In contrast to most dicynodonts, no longitudinal groove is present on the upper edge of the dentary lateral to the tooth Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard University.
