Hen's Teeth?
I remember reading somewhere that it was proven that birds retain the genes for teeth, but I am unable to find a detailed reference. Does anyone have a link to this information?

Don't lose it... such links are as rare as <a href="http://www.devbio.com/chap06/link0601.shtml" target="_blank">Hen's Teeth</a>.

They also retain the genes to make rather reptilian, archaeopteryx-like legs. See
