Fossilised teeth tell the story of feeding habits of extinct reptiles, including dinosaurs

Internationally-renowned palaeolontologist Prof Robert Reisz studies teeth in dinosaurs and other fossils because they inform us about patterns of terrestrial vertebrate evolution. Prof Reisz will explore this topic in the last ANSTO Distinguished Lecture of the year on Thursday, 15 December at 11 am.
