At present, two species of Tyrannosaurus are considered valid; the type species, T. rex, and the earlier in age and more recently discovered T. mcraeensis. As the archetypal theropod, Tyrannosaurus has been one of the best-known dinosaurs since the early 20th century and has been featured in film, advertising, postal stamps, and many other media.
Mounted skeletons of different age groups, Los Angeles Natural History Museum. The feeding behaviour of Tyrannosaurus rex has been studied extensively. The well known attributes of T. rex (its jaws, legs and overall body design) are often interpreted to be indicative of either a predatory or scavenging lifestyle, and as such the biomechanics, feeding strategies and diet of Tyrannosaurus have ...
Skeletal mount of the Tyrannosaurus holotype.. This timeline of tyrannosaur research is a chronological listing of events in the history of paleontology focused on the tyrannosaurs, a group of predatory theropod dinosaurs that began as small, long-armed bird-like creatures with elaborate cranial ornamentation but achieved apex predator status during the Late Cretaceous as their arms shrank and ...
OSIRIS-REx II was a 2012 mission concept to replicate the original spacecraft for a double mission, with the second vehicle collecting samples from the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. It was stated that this mission would be both the quickest and least expensive way to get samples from the moons.
Thomas is mounted in a "growth series" with the youngest-known Tyrannosaurus rex fossil, a two-year-old, 11-foot-long (3.4 m) specimen, and a 13-year-old, 20-foot-long (6.1 m) juvenile specimen. [99] This fossil is one of the geologically youngest T. rex specimens known, discovered very near the Cretaceous–Tertiary boundary. [100]
These facts alongside the roughness and rugosity of the skull are indications that this individual had reached an old age for a T. rex; in this case at least thirty years, as opposed to Sue's 28 years (which was the second oldest specimen known until now), making Trix the oldest Tyrannosaurus known.

The Cornish rex is a medium-sized cat, most weighing between 10-15lbs. As they have big appetites it is easy to overfeed them, which can lead to obesity. It is best to make a plan with your vet to ...
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]
