5.  TEETH OF ALLOSAURUS:   Examine the teeth of Allosaurus. Are they all roughly the same shape or do the teeth differ dramatically from one another in shape? Sketch a typical tooth. Is the long axis of a tooth straight or curved (i.e are the teeth shaped like a dagger or like a saber)? If curved, are all the teeth curved the same way? Which way - forward or backward?
