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 ...
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 ...
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.
