crocodiles don't doesn't mean dinosaurs did not have lips!!! It seems that 
dinosaurs have small holes in the bottom and outside surfaces of their 
maxillary bones and pre-maxillary bones as well as the tops and outside 
surfaces of their lower jaw and that these holes had blood vessels running 
through them. If there were blood vessels running through these holes, then 
there would be some kind of fleshy covering over the teeth! >>

       Never looked at a croc skull, have you? Nice big print, though... DV
