I had no clue that the teeth were so important. The difference between carnivors and plant eaters' teeth is huge! Mammals only get one new set of teeth for our life time. Reptiles get new teeth as they live.
i thought that this chapter was interesting. I always knew that teeth can survive a fire but, i never thought that teeth can survive for 300 mill years and still have remains inside the teeth.
I never knew that reptiles grew new teeth throughout their life. I found it strange how teeth could last so long. i found the chart from page 79 interesting because everything from a piece of hair to a tooth they pretty much grow in a similar way.
i never really thought twice about how teeth from like sharks kept growing back, but now it makes sense because they arent positioned in any kind of organized way like humans, and then it made sense that since our teeth are organized to fit together with precision, that our teeth wouldnt be damaged as much, and therefore we only had one replacement set of teeth, (very fascinating) J.M.DiPietro
I always knew that teeth were hard but i didn't know that teeth were as hard as rocks. I mean can you imagine a mouth full of rocks. It's pretty cool knowing that inside your teeth are little crystals which gives your teeth the strength to rip through food and what ever else you try to break with them.
Chapter 4 has ben the most surprising so far, I think. I never knew that teeth coul be such major discoveries. Obviously, they tell you about the creature's eating habits, but I wasn't aware that they could almost immediately give away information about what kind of creature it was and when it lived. I knew that teeth were one of the strongest elements of the body, but I really didn't know that they could withstand millions of years and still be in good enough condition to be studied. -Morgan Wininger
There's a lot to know about teeth. You don't think much about the teeth that fish have and how they somehow relate to you. That the bumps, bits, and ridges on teeth can reflect one's diet. Shubin describes everything in way that makes all this information fall into place and make sense. Even his comparison of the astracoderms to hamburgers with fleshy tails makes it much more amusing and interesting to read on. -Loremae Mopera
