Practically nothing is known of the replacement of the canines, but in one specimen an upper canine appears to have its crown about to be shed and lying posterior to it is a pointed tooth which may be its replacement.

Postcanines In the Anteosauria the postcanines are inadequately known. They form a short series with at most 8 teeth, irregularly spaced.
