The quantification of the dentition by <jats:italic>Zahnreihen<\/jats:italic>, Z\u2010Spacing, and replacement waves indicates a complex pattern of different replacement stages in which large gaps within the dentition were avoided. The specialized prey\u2010catching apparatus of <jats:italic>Coloborhynchus<\/jats:italic> thus could retain its function even following tooth replacement. The replacement process in the specimen took about 2\/3 of the total life\u2010time of a tooth, and damaged teeth in the anterior jaw region may have been replaced more rapidly than posterior teeth. The distolingual replacement of the functional teeth delayed the time of their shedding in comparison with the circular resorption present in crocodiles. In contrast to these, the distolingual position of the replacement tooth did not decrease the biomechanical stability of the functional tooth, which can also be observed as a convergence in other thecodont dentitions, e.g., recent carnivore mammals. Teeth were shed when their replacement had reached about 60% of the full\u2010grown height. A comparison of the observed pattern is constricted by the preservation and preparation of other specimens. Unfortunately, no known specimen in public collections reaches the quality of <jats:italic>Coloborhynchus robustus<\/jats:italic>, SMNK 2302 PAL, so that comparable patterns in other specimens are not likely to be detected.
