Evolution of high tooth replacement rates in sauropod dinosaurs.
<h4>Background</h4>Tooth replacement rate can be calculated in extinct animals by counting incremental lines of deposition in tooth dentin. Calculating this rate in several taxa allows for the study of the evolution of tooth replacement rate. Sauropod dinosaurs, the largest terrestrial a...
