"Ok, where in there does it say what T-rex was biting, shearing, and swallowing?"
You're playing Min's fool again, Stat.
From the above source:
Believe it or not, we've actually found T. rex poop. We know it's T. rex poop because of its size (no one else who lived at that place, at the time, was big enough to make such a thing) and because it was made by a meat-eating dinosaur (it has pieces of bone inside). Some poop found with Sue had acid-etched duckbill bones mixed in. Because these bones are preserved, we know that it had a short and rapid digestive system. In contrast, bones eaten by a crocodile are completely dissolved within the digestive tract before excretion. This tells us that a T. rex digestive system worked more like a bird's than a crocodile's.
And,

To find out what meant turning not to the bones of T. rex but to the remains of an animal eaten by one, a Triceratops. These animals were hefty herbivores, ten tonnes of muscle with a characteristic armoured head. And when scientists began to uncover bones baring huge tooth marks, they knew Triceratops had been T. rex food. So Horner turned to a plaster cast of part of a Triceratops, the sacrum, fused vertebrae littered with nearly sixty frenzied T. rex tooth marks. Baring such terrible scars this enormous bone had been held up as conclusive proof of T. rex as a predator. Horner wanted to reanalyse the specimen, to see if there was anything previous researchers had missed, and they had. It was not the size or the shape of the bite marks they’d overlooked, it was where they were. The sacrum is a well protected part of a Triceratops skeleton. It’s the reinforced bone at the base of the spine, enclosed by the heavy muscle of the legs and the belly. The bite marks were on the underside of this concealed bone. The one part of a Triceratops body impossible for a T. rex to get to if its meal was still alive and kicking.
There is much more to read there, Stat. Take your time.
