A MESOZOIC DINO-FEAST: MULTIPLE TEETH MARKS ON A SAUROPOD DINOSAUR BONE FROM THE UPPER CRETACEOUS OF PATAGONIA AND EVIDENCE ON THEROPOD FEEDING BEHAVIOR

A MESOZOIC DINO-FEAST: MULTIPLE TEETH MARKS ON A SAUROPOD DINOSAUR BONE FROM THE UPPER CRETACEOUS OF PATAGONIA AND EVIDENCE ON THEROPOD FEEDING BEHAVIOR
