Please note product may differ slightly to the image.
Each Triceratops jaw contained hundreds of teeth arranged in tightly packed vertical columns called dental batteries. Each battery could hold as many as 36 to 40 columns on each side of the jaw, with each column containing a stack of up to five teeth layered one above another.
They could have up to 800 TEETH at any one time!!
Only the top tooth in each column was actively used for chewing, while the ones below served as replacements, ready to move upward as the older teeth wore down.
This continuous replacement ensured that a Triceratops always had sharp, functional teeth capable of shredding even the toughest plant material.
