Larson has written and co-authored numerous publications on dinosaurs. [12] [3] [13] He was one of the first to work with T. rex bone pathologies, has worked to uncover sexual dimorphism in the chevron length of T. rex, and argues that several juvenile T. rex skeletons actually represent a distinct genus, Nanotyrannus.

Based on the size of the tibia, experts estimate the dinosaur was 13 to 15 years old when it died and likely weighed around 3,500 pounds — about two-thirds of the size of a fully-grown adult T rex.
