RE: _T. rex_ debate in the newspaper

From: "Paamy" <paamy@talk21.com> 

I doubt that T. Rex would have been capable of biting through the neck
vertebrae of it's prey, as this would almost certainly have broken its
teeth.

_T. rex_ was prone to losing teeth anyhow. There have been numerous finds with tyrannosaurid teeth found embedded in the bone, including the skull of another _T. rex_. Not that this mattered, though, as its old teeth were constantly being replaced by newer ones.
