The Gorgosaurus heads back to its cave, fatally wounded with a broken leg. As the sun rises the next morning, Scar is becoming weaker and the Quetzalcoatlus that follows senses it. The young dinosaur hears a rustling noise, which turns to be the injured female Pachyrhinosaurus instead. The pterosaur gives up as the ceratopsian herd arrives to ...
Skulls of the three species compared: P. perotorum (with inaccurate epiparietal placement), P. canadensis, and P. lakustai Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis, was described in 1950 by Charles Mortram Sternberg based on the holotype incomplete skull NMC 8867, and the paratype incomplete skull NMC 8866, which included the anterior part of the skull but was lacking the right lower mandible, and the "beak".

Before the formal description of Nanuqsaurus, numerous tyrannosaurid teeth were known from the Kogosukruk Tongue of the Prince Creek Formation and were first referred to the genus Gorgosaurus. [1] Later, after the locale was understood to be younger than previously thought, the consensus switched to referring to the teeth under the genus ...
Walking with Dinosaurs was the brainchild of Tim Haines, who came with the idea in 1996 while he was working as a science television producer at the BBC. [1] Then-head of BBC Science Jana Bennett had at the time started a policy of encouraging producers to pitch possible future landmark series, with the goal of increasing the science output of the BBC and raising the bar of science programming.
A rare fossil discovery marks the first time a tyrannosaur’s stomach contents have been found, a new study says. The young apex predator was a cousin of T. rex.
Mounted skeletons of Tyrannosaurus (left) and Apatosaurus (right) at the AMNH. Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago, although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is the subject of active research.
