The teeth in your mouth have different shapes and functions - sharp ones cut food; flat ones mash it up. T. rex had only one basic shape of tooth: pointy, serrated bananas (although they vary slightly, from rounder to D-shaped to skinnier, and come in different sizes). T. rex had no mashing teeth, which means no chewing! Imagine what that meant for T. rex's eating habits: bite, shear, swallow.
The lower, or dentary, teeth are rounder in cross-section than the upper, or maxillary teeth. All T. rex teeth have two serrated edges for cutting. Most have one in front and one in the back, but the position of the serrations depends on each tooth's position in the mouth. The serrations follow the shape of the jaw, like a cookie cutter - so T. rex could bite chunks that would fit in its mouth. At the back of the mouth, serrations are at the front and back; by the time you get to the front of the jaw, the serrations are both on the back of the tooth.
Ok, where in there does it say what T-rex was biting, shearing, and swallowing?

I believe dinosaurs existed yes. The point was to show atheists how absurd and downright annoying many of the games they play are by playing the same game back concerning the existence of dinosaurs. When I was in high school I worked in a pharmacy, and two of the pharmacy techs got into this very same squabble. It was one of the most hilarious things I had ever seen, because you really can’t “prove” dinosaurs existed, and the one tech was very good at pushing that point.
