Tyrannosaurus (/ t ɪ ˌ r æ n ə ˈ s ɔː r ə s, t aɪ-/) [a] is a genus of large theropod dinosaur.The type species Tyrannosaurus rex (rex meaning 'king' in Latin), often shortened to T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the best represented theropods.
The largest species was Tyrannosaurus rex, the most massive known terrestrial predator, which measured over 13 metres (43 ft) in length [2] and according to most modern estimates up to 8.87 metric tons (9.78 short tons) in weight. [3] [4] Tyrannosaurids were bipedal carnivores with massive skulls filled with large teeth. Despite their large ...
Initially, Nanuqsaurus was estimated to have been about 5–6 meters (16–20 ft) long, a metric based on the holotype specimen, putting the animal at about half the length of Tyrannosaurus rex. [5] [6] [7] The length of the same specimen's reconstructed skull, based on the proportions of related animals, was 60–70 cm (24–28 in). [3]
Full-size skeleton reproductions of a Tyrannosaurus rex and a Triceratops, plus fossils, interactive exhibits, and more. Through May 12 at the Museum of Science and History-The Pink Palace, 3050 ...
Previously discovered T. rex skeletons were usually missing over half of their bones. [10] It was later determined that Sue was a record 90 percent complete by bulk, [11] and 73 percent complete counting the elements. [12] Of the 360 known T. rex bones, around 250 have been recovered. [1]
Bones from several similar-sized individuals were incorporated into the skeleton now mounted and on display at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin; [22] this mount is 12–13.27 metres (39.4–43.5 ft) tall and 21.8–22.5 metres (72–74 ft) long, [23] [24] [25] and would have belonged to an animal that weighed between 30,000 to 60,000 kilograms ...
A rare fossil of an adolescent Tyrannosaurus rex has been excavated in North Dakota's badlands - a find noteworthy for the scientific insight it may offer into the life history of this famous ...
They also had a pig-like snout and long tusks which were probably used to fend off predators. [100] The largest camelid was Titanotylopus from the Miocene of North America. It possibly reached 2,485.6 kg (5,480 lb) and a shoulder height of over 3.4 m (11 ft). [101] [102] The Syrian camel (Camelus moreli) was twice as big as the modern camels. [103]
