Heterodontosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Heterodontosaurus was a small ornithischian dinosaur of Early Jurassic southern Africa. Its jaws contained different tooth types, including elongated fang-like teeth and teeth processing food.

Dentition chiefly indicates herbivory, although other dietary components remain debated. Wear traces show tooth use during food gathering and processing. Bone imaging also helps study tooth replacement through growth.
