Comparisons between the stages of dental macrowear, wear rate, and tooth formation time in Hungarosaurus tormai and Mochlodon vorosi. Strongly worn crowns in Hungarosaurus tormai lost a maximum of 28% of the unworn crown volume, but this loss reaches 58% in Mochlodon vorosi. Note that inclinations of the wear facets differ between the two taxa, with much more steeply inclined facets in Hungarosaurus tormai. Also note that none of the taxa possess a replacement tooth beneath fully erupted but unworn teeth.
