Duck-Bill Dinosaurs Had Plant-Pulverizing Teeth More Advanced Than Horses
ScienceDaily (Oct. 4, 2012) — A team of paleontologists and engineers has found that duck-billed dinosaurs had an amazing capacity to chew tough and abrasive plants with grinding teeth more complex than those of cows, horses, and other well-known modern grazers. Their study, which is published October 4 in the journal Science, is the first to recover material properties from fossilized teeth.
