Taia Wyenberg-Henzler

Taia Wyenberg-Henzler is a PhD candidate at the University of Alberta. She has a keen interest in tooth shape, tooth wear and tooth marks and their relationship to dinosaur feeding behaviour. She has studied how large herbivorous dinosaurs changed their diets with growth and how juvenile herbivorous dinosaurs may have competed with other herbivorous dinosaur species. Her current work focuses on interpreting tyrannosaurid feeding behaviour using tooth wear and tooth marks.
