Fossilized dinosaur teeth are turning out to be much more than ancient leftovers — they’re helping scientists figure out what these massive animals ate, how they coexisted, and even how far they might ...
Trapped in the enamel of fossilized dinosaur teeth is a fascinating glimpse into the Earth's atmospheric past stretching back 150 million years. A recent study shows that carbon dioxide levels back ...
Fossilized dinosaur teeth can reveal a lot more than just how these creatures ate and who they were related to – they can also tell us what the air was like in prehistoric times. As it turns out, ...
What did long-necked dinosaurs eat—and where did they roam to satisfy their hunger? A team of researchers has reconstructed the feeding behavior of sauropods using cutting-edge dental wear analysis.
This dinosaur’s skull was light as air but its mouth was packed with power—and a unique ability to quickly grow teeth. Here’s how Nigersaurus was built for nonstop grazing. The cast of the skull of ...
Some dinosaurs were fussy eaters. Certain herbivorous dinosaurs preferred specific parts of plants, challenging long-standing assumptions about their diets, a study of fossilized dino teeth shows. The ...
At the end of the Cretaceous, the duck-billed hadrosaurs were the most advanced herbivores on Earth. New research has revealed just how voracious these dinosaurs were, with their average tooth worn ...
Dinosaur teeth discovered by a now retired quarryman have revealed a community of prehistoric predators that lived around 135 million years ago in an "exciting" discovery. Paleontologists examined ...
