Re: Coelophysis Polyphodonty



Whoops! That should be heterodont, not polyphodont. Sorry!

A while back, i stated that I didn't believe _Coelophysis_ exhibited
polphodonty. I stand corrected. Going back and looking at a specimen of the
skull, I realized that the premaxila has four highly recurved, narrow teeth,
while the maxila has elongate, slightly recurved teeth. Anyways, there you
have it.
Peace,
