Note
Observation shows a cross section of the jaw. As you can see, the teeth inside the jaw continued to push up to replace the teeth that had worn down or broken off. This is why one of the most prolific fossil teeth found are hadrosaur tooth sections that had broken off during the normal course of feeding.
