Spinosaurid dinosaurs were able to develop up to three generations of teeth at the same time, a high replacement rate that explains why so many teeth of this type have been found in Cretaceous sites.
As dinosaurs go, Spinosaurus is one of the most recognisable: a predator with sharp claws, a long jaw full of teeth, and a big sail on its back. It lived near rivers, hunting for fish, 100 million ...
The teeth of Changchunsaurus parvus, a small herbivorous dinosaur from the Cretaceous of China, represent an important and poorly-known stage in the evolution of ornithopod dentition, according to a ...

Scratches on dinosaur teeth could reveal what they really ate. For the first time, dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has been used to infer the feeding habits of large theropods, including ...
A dinosaur that resembled a penguin-goose mix with too many teeth has been discovered in the depths of the Gobi Desert. The near-complete skeleton was unearthed in 2008 from the Baruungoyot Formation, ...
WASHINGTON -- Scientists have figured out a way to take the temperature of dinosaurs, and it turns out to be almost the same as ours. Of course you can't just stick a thermometer under the tongue of a ...
A recent study published in Acta Geologica Sinica reveals the identification of 12 previously unknown dinosaur teeth in the Upper Cretaceous Nenjiang Formation, located in China’s Songliao Basin.
Early stages of dinosaur development remain a mystery. However, researchers have uncovered a new way to study dino development using the teeth of... What to expect when you're expecting a baby ...
The plant-eating dinosaur Fruitadens wouldn’t strike much fear into a poodle, let alone your average dinosaur. Less than a meter long and weighing under a kilogram, Fruitadens seems wholly ...
The speed at which spinosaurid dinosaur teeth were replaced accounts for their overabundance in Cretaceous sites This has been confirmed by a study in which researchers from the UPV/EHU are taking ...
