How could a paleontologist determine that a dinosaur was a plant eater or a carnivore?

Usually by their teeth, if they're lucky enough to find a skull. Necessity being the mother of invention, creatures need teeth suitable for their food, and herbivores (veggie-saurs) had flattened or rounded teeth, while carnivores had sharp, serrated steak-knives in their face.
