Two Types of Dinosaur TeethPhotos by Mike Brett-Surman & Chip Clark Click the images for a better view and explanation of these two different types of teeth. Dinosaurs had two different types of teeth that give us clues about their eating habits. Some were "herbivores" or "plant eaters" and therefore had teeth that aided in grinding up the plant material that they ate. Others were "carnivores" or "flesh eaters" that had teeth that were shaped to aid in ripping and tearing food. | |||||||||||||||
