Although you can't really tell, it looks like the
symphysis between the 2 lateral halves extends for
some distance down the midline. I only say this
because that's what the rostral view implies. I think
that "small foramen" is the naris. A caudally placed
and very reduced one, though. There is a pretty good
likeness with this cast (?) and the pic of
_Angaturama's_ snout at

What else could that small fenestra be?

Cheers,
