There's been some evidence of T rex and other big bitey-eatey-chewie-a-saurs
leaving teeth
stuck in prey that got away, but the teeth being left in the wounds seems to
have the
wound heal rather naturally around it, and if the teeth were themselves bearers
of infectous
deseases or venom, well, wouldn't that NOT be the case?
