Sauropod Tooth Structures

[Godzillasaurus]

I found some interesting information about various sauropods (diplodocids, camarasaurids, brachiosaurids, and titanosaurids) and their tooth design. It is often not very well known that sauropods had such different tooth morphologies, so here is some information for those who would like to know more about the subject:

Diplodocids had pencil-like teeth, camarasaurids had a tooth design that was built somewhat like spoons, and titanosaurids and brachiosaurids had dentition reminiscent of chisels. Interestingly, it is theorized that diplodocids fed on more soft-bodied vegetation utilizing a stripping technique while titanosaurids, brachiosaurids, and camarasaurids fed on tougher plant material with their thicker tooth structure. Now I know most of you may not care much about this, but this subject intrigues me. I have never found such a context-rich source about sauropod feeding and tooth design.

It also seems that titanosauriforms also had teeth and jaws robust enough to possibly crunch tree branches. I got this from visuals so I won't force you to believe it.

Sauropodomorphs seem to have exploited all the land plants from top to ground. Each calls for a different tooth type.

Compared to diplodocids, it definitely seems so.

And I made a couple of edits to my last post, as I got camarasaurids and brachiosaurids mixed up. It is changed now. But although the article states that spoon-like teeth were mostly found in camarasaurids, I do remember reading other sources that describe brachiosaurid teeth as generally spoon-like.
