). However, Rpm6 and 7 appear to be crowded into one alveolus, suggesting that BMNH R9951 could also be anomalous. Such anomalies are common in mammals (P. Dodson, pers. comm., 2004) and should not affect the stability of theropod counts. It is also possible that tooth-count variation increases with decreasing crown size (J. D. Harris, pers. comm., 2004).

). Indeed, mx3 and mx4 are large enough that it might be possible to distinguish them from dentary crowns using CH (mx3: 111.30 mm; mx4: 105.34 mm versus d4: 90.14 mm). The teeth in the maxillary dentition are different from those in the premaxillary class in terms of shape and size. Crown size and shape change enough within the maxilla that the dentition can be discussed in terms of two distinct sets.

Crown size increases from mx1mx3. There is an inflection point at ̴mx4 beyond which size decreases to the end of the tooth row. It is between mx3 and mx4, on the basis of size, that the break between the mesial and distal sets was placed. The distal set (mx4mx12) mostly contains smaller teeth with rather straight distal curvature profiles and long base lengths as compared to widths (although mx4 and 5 are large teeth). In the mesial set, mx1 is significantly smaller than mx3 in CH and AL (mx3 CH: 111.30 mm,

They decrease slightly across the mesial part of the distal set to mx10 (86.6°), and then drop to mx12 (82.3°). The CA data reflect the moderate increase in mesial curvature in the maxilla and the dramatic increase in the last few teeth. In the distal maxilla, the mesial faces rise with very gentle curves apically from the base (the basal portions of some of the faces are almost straight), to or just apical to the mid crown. Here the slopes become more sharply curved. The first maxillary crown possesses a straighter mesial profile (similar to those of the mesial premaxilla) than do the rest of the mesial-set teeth.

noted correctly that the mesial crowns distal to d1 are morphologically dissimilar from the premaxillary teeth, and recognized that the dentary series changed in a similar manner to the maxilla, with the carinae changing from the labial and lingual surfaces mesially to the mesial and distal surfaces distally. The mesial carina of d2 is positioned mesially as compared to that of d1. It begins at the apex and extends basally along the lingual edge of the mesial face, such that denticles can be seen on the lingual edge in mesial view. The distal carina of d2 remains close to where it is in d1, such that its base is located in the distal quarter of the labial face. By d3, the mesial carina is positioned such that it in mesial view, it begins just lingual to the apex and extends basally in the lingual quarter of the mesial face. The distal carina is located such that its base is in the distal quarter of the labial face, similar to that of d2. Carina orientations in d4 are very similar to d3. The labial faces of the mesial set are almost flat (e.g.,

. I agree with these authors that apical denticulation in and of itself is not a particularly useful character. However, recording whether or not the denticles cross the carinae (with possible taphonomic modification acknowledged) in theropod descriptions is still useful as I suspect that possession of apical denticulation is likely to be the plesiomorphic theropod state, while a lack of apical denticles is the derived condition.

to gauge systematic potential (as is true for non-dental traits), and the strength of the analysis presented here is reduced without detailed comparisons of other dentitions. The discussion must begin somewhere, however, and the length of this article illustrates that the process of accounting for variation in theropod dentitions is involved enough to make the simultaneous study of nu- merous taxa impractical, especially those with heterodont dentitions. The discussion of putative characters given below is thus a very preliminary step that awaits detailed examinations of the dental arcades of other theropod species.

If so, the result is discouraging as this is a larger sample than is likely to be obtained for most theropods for the foreseeable future.

A difference between the trend of the bone and the crowns basal long axes would result in the cutting of a wider swath during a bite than with teeth that line up along the trend of the bone, as occurs in some modern reptiles (see

it is possible to interpret this feature as a trend of decreasing mesial carina length along the maxillary tooth row; in the distal crowns the mesial carinae terminate ̴25 mm above the bases of the enamel. Carina length cannot be used to discriminate a maxillary crown versus one from the dentary, but the fact that some theropods do not appear to possess shortened maxillary carinae (e.g.,

Theropod teeth are simple structures, but this work has shown that there can be useful information contained within theropod dentitions if they are studied in detail, by combining qualitative descriptions with quantitative methods. With the dental anatomy and variation of a common theropod documented, we might ultimately expect additional systematic information to come from teeth. Also, a standard now exists against which to compare putative teeth of

Descriptions of other dentitions should facilitate the inclusion in theropod phylogenetic analyses of additional dental information, facilitate the taxonomic identification of isolated teeth, and aid in assessing the validity of tooth taxa, benefiting all biogeographical and paleoecological research conducted in terrestrial Mesozoic rocks.
