Kinetosaurs: Fossil Forms

Fossil Forms Tyrannasaurus tooth Good guess, but this tooth is long, curved, and very sharp&emdash;just right for ripping and tearing meat. So it must have belonged to a carnivorous (meat-eating) dinosaur. Since this tooth is six inches long, it could belong to only one dinosaur&emdash;Tyrannosaurus Rex.

This tooth belonged to a Hadrosaur, an herbivore (plant-eater). It's broad and flat, for grinding up plant matter.

Human teeth are both flat and pointy, so we can eat both meat and plants. That makes us omnivores.
