Below: pictures  of a maxillary fragments, a premaxilla, two articulated dentaries, and multicuspid tooth of  a tetrapod that could be considered a probable caseasaur  on the basis of the presence of bulbous teeth that show multicuspid morphology, and a rostrum formed by the anteriorly tilted dorsal process of premaxilla.

1) Unidentified caseasaur: multicuspid tooth (enlarged in medial view)

2) Unidentified caseasaur: multicuspid tooth (enlarged in posterior view)

3) Unidentified caseasaur: premaxilla

4) Unidentified caseasaur: maxilla 1

5) Unidentified caseasaur: maxilla 2
