rex STAN Tooth - 11cm (4.5 in)
http://www.bhigr.com/store/product.php?productid=52#detailed

T. rex had teeth of differing sizes in it's mouth. The tooth in the
illustation was not one of the largest teeth, which are closer to 12" in
length. See the photo at: http://www.bhigr.com/pages/info/info_rxth.htm
, specifically, this photo :
http://www.bhigr.com/media/photos/stan/stn_toth_a.jpg

The article states:

"Teeth were the essential components for killing and feeding, personifying
Tyrannosaurus rex. The teeth were specialized for each different
tooth-bearing element in the skull and also for their position in that
bone. Therefore, the teeth ranged in size and shape, with the path of the
serrated edge differing according to the tooth's position in the skull.
The large teeth measured up to twelve inches long (root and crown), while
the smaller back teeth were only about half as long."



You can see the pair of roots at the end.

Which end do you think is the root? The root is the largest part of the
tooth, the crown, with it's cutting edge the smaller part.


They look to be 1/3 side of the tooth.

From what I can see from the illustration, the root appears to be at least
2/3 the size of the tooth. On the top photo, the crown appears to be to
the right, with the root on the left. That is reversed on the second
photo.


Thats a root of 1.5"

Actually, the root appears to be at least 3" of the 4.5" tooth.

The text says:

"The teeth of Tyrannosaurus rex were specialized; they have tiny
serrations to help them cut through flesh and are round in cross section
for breaking through bone. The crown of the tooth is covered with hard
enamel. The **long dentine root ** [my emphasis] would have been dissolved
and reused by new teeth as they grew. "


Here's another image of a T.rex tooth from the same specimen, alongside a
ruler. As one can see, the root of the tooth is approximately 8" long.

Yet another image of a T. rex tooth, showing how much larger the root is,
in relation to the crown. note the size of the hand holding it.

Anyone claiming that T. rex teeth were shallowly rooted obviously doesn't
know what he or she is talking about.

Until you invent a time machine you have no idea what personifies Trex

Only guesses

OTOH, i have ancient texts that tell me why.
