squid and fish
Animals with flat teeth typically eat plants and vegetation. They use their flat teeth to grind and chew plant material effectively. Some examples of animals with flat teeth include herbivores like cows, horses, and elephants.
Ichthyostega is an extinct genus of early tetrapod that lived during the Late Devonian period, around 366 million years ago. It is considered one of the first vertebrates to have successfully transitioned from water to land, representing an important step in the evolution of vertebrates from aquatic to terrestrial environments. Ichthyostega had both fish-like and amphibian-like features, with body adaptations for a semi-aquatic lifestyle.
You can tell an animal's diet based on its teeth by looking at their shape and size. Herbivores typically have flat teeth for grinding plant material, while carnivores have sharp teeth for tearing meat. Omnivores have a mix of tooth types to accommodate a varied diet.
The perch's teeth adapted to their function of eating harder prey than what their ancestors ate. This means that a perch has relatively hard and pointy teeth.
Saber-toothed cats were carnivores and ferocious hunters. They ate mammals and killed by laying on their prey until it died. Then, it used its sharp saber teeth to pierce the neck and eat the meat.
mostly fish, but also mollusks such as ammonites
Pliohippus was a grazer and ate grass, however the shape of the teeth do indicate that it possibly also ate soft leaves as well as grass when available.

There are many ways to tell what a dinosaur ate. One way is looking at it's teeth. Blunt spoon-shaped cheek teeth indicate the dinosaur ate plants. Sharp pointed teeth show that dinosaur ate meat. Another way is looking at the skeletons. Sometimes you will find the skeleton of the prey inside the skeleton of the predator. And yet another way is looking at it's droppings.

Ichthyostega
The scientist could infer the type of food the shark ate by examining its teeth and jaw structure. Sharp, pointed teeth suggest a diet of fish, while flat teeth indicate a diet of mainly crustaceans or mollusks. The way the teeth are arranged can also hint at how the shark caught its food, whether by slicing through flesh or crushing hard shells.

they lived in the cretaceous period
The archaeopteryx was a carnivore. (They ate meat)

By looking at their teeth the sharper they were they could detect if they ate meat
