Spinosaurid dinosaurs were able to develop up to three generations of teeth at the same time, a high replacement rate that explains why so many teeth of this type have been found in Cretaceous sites. This has been confirmed by a study in which researchers from the UPV/EHU are taking part and which has been published in the journal Historical Biology.
