Robertia possessed a moderately wide skull roof, small postcanine teeth, and the palatine bone in the roof of its mouth was not as reduced as in its more successful relative, Diictodon. It had a notch immediately in front of the tusk-like canines on the upper jaw, which would presumably have held tough plant matter, such as stems and twigs, before the animal severed them with its horny beak.
