    One dating back 190 million years of Chinese dragon specimen opened a "dinosaur will suffer from dental" wonderful phenomenon - foreign paleontologists announced that they a dinosaur specimens from Lufeng County in Yunnan Province was found with missing vitamin A teeth alveolar remodeling. Fossil researcher, China University of Geosciences (Beijing) scholar Zhang Jianping, Xing Lida, University of Kansas professor Rothschild, Canada Pipestone Dinosaur Center researcher Dr. Bell and other experts in the "science" (gnrh elisa kit http://www.cusabio.com/bio1-G-GnRH-7-8.html ) on in the form of a cover article, the author describes this precious specimens. According to reports, this is the worlds oldest known dinosaur tooth pathology records, the study of ancient vertebrate evolution and the evolution of pathology has an important significance. oiubvobvo
    This wonderful discovery from 2007 paleontological specimens technician repairing a pleasant surprise. "Specimen alveolar one less vitamin A tooth, which was originally a very common phenomenon, carnivorous dinosaurs out several teeth are normal." Thesis researcher Xing Lida introduction, "but this is very unusual specimen, its alveolar, That is to accommodate the root of the nest has been completely closed, so I realized that this is likely to be a disease. "
    Dinosaur doctor to be very interesting. Paleontologists from around the world carried out consultations on fossil, fossils do X-rays and returned to CT scans and found that each has pyrite alveolar hyperplasia in the case, except closed alveolar no, this is almost the alveolar is solid. "In mammals, pathological or traumatic tooth loss is usually caused by the absorption of alveolar bone and remodeling, but in the reptiles who are few and far." Professor Rothschild.
    Then the only Chinese dragon is how it got this strange dental? Paleontologists it with the ring-tailed lemur from Madagascar skull to do a comparison. "Tooth loss and alveolar remodeling in the ring-tailed lemur molars are more common," Dr. Bell said, "The reason is this animal like to use a specific molar bite hard vitamin A, which is likely to cause tooth breakage and cause lesions, only the injured Chinese dragon may have similar habits, or hard objects accidentally bite injuries.
