These domed teeth allowed it to break through the hard shells of ammonites, bivalves, and even small marine turtles. This feeding strategy reduced competition with other apex predators and demonstrates remarkable ecological adaptation during the Late Cretaceous.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1670\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis authentic tooth was discovered in the phosphate-rich deposits of Oued Zem, a world-famous fossil locality.
