ABSTRACT: As in many carnivorous vertebrates, the teeth of most theropod dinosaurs are
characterized by serrations. Denticle size (or serration coarseness) and its inverse, serra-
tion density, scale with relation to absolute tooth size along the same allometric curve for
most groups of carnivorous vertebrates. One of the few fossil groups traditionally inter-
preted as carnivorous that does not follow this same allometric scale is the theropod dino-
saur family Troodontidae. Troodontids differ from all other theropods with the exception of
therizinosauroids in that their serrations are particularly coarse; that is, their denticles are
larger and correspondingly more widely spaced than expected for a plesiomorphic thero-
pod of similar tooth size. Morphometric analysis of the teeth of herbivorous dinosaurs and
lizards also show allometric scaling of serration coarseness, with plant-eaters generally
