English term or phrase: terragoid
Bonjour,

je traduis un texte parlant des mosasaures, des lézards géants de la taille d'un bus qui régnaient sur les océans lors du crétacé. Les mosasaures avaient une deuxième mâchoire à l'intérieur de la première et composée de dents appelées "terragoids". Sauriez-vous comment traduire ce terme ?

"The terragoids are the terminator teeth and no other ocean predator has them. A second set of teeth running down the roof of the mouth."
