Troodon Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Here is a table from a paper that looks at the heterodonty in T rex teeth at different positions. CH is crown height, so those are the lines you are looking for. Most papers published do not focus on tooth size especially those associated with skulls. Not aware of other areas where this info can be found. Big teeth are also held in private hands that would not get publicized.
