Dental microwear reveals mammal-like chewing in the neoceratopsian dinosaur Leptoceratops gracilis
Extensive oral processing of food through dental occlusion and orbital mandibular movement is often cited as a uniquely mammalian trait that contributed to their evolutionary success.Save for mandibular translation, these adaptations are not seen in extant archosaurs or lepidosaurs.In contrast, some ornithischian dinosaurs show evidence of precise
