Tarbosaurus bite marks have also been identified on hadrosaur and sauropod fossils, but theropod bite marks on bones of other theropods are very rare in the fossil record. [65] A 2020 study involving stable isotopes found that Tarbosaurus primarily hunted large dinosaurs in its environment, most notably titanosaurs and hadrosaurs. [66]
At least one named species of the creature must have been found in Asia. This list is a complement to Category: ... Tarbosaurus: 1955 Nemegt Formation, ...
Alioramus and Tarbosaurus are found to be related in one cladistic analysis, forming a unique Asian branch of the family. [18] This was later disproven with the discovery of Qianzhousaurus and the description of the tyrannosaur family Alioramini. Tyrannosaurid teeth from a large species of unknown variety were discovered in the Nagasaki ...
The Subashi Formation (Chinese: 苏巴什组) is a Late Cretaceous (Campanian to Maastrichtian) [1] formation from the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of western China. [2] Initially described by Dong Zhiming in 1977, the formation contains remains of Tarbosaurus which were initially described as a separate taxon Shanshanosaurus huoyanshanensis.
A scientific publication by Phil Bell and colleagues in 2017 show that tyrannosaurids such as Gorgosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus had scales. The Bell et al. 2017 paper notes that the scale-like integument on bird feet were actually secondarily derived feathers according to paleontological and evolutionary ...
Skull restoration. In October 2010 an online Nature News report [6] (not peer-reviewed) challenged the provenance and classification of Raptorex as a basal tyrannosauroid. Peter Larson, president of the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research, Inc., a private fossil excavation and supply company, inspected the fossil and told Nature that he concluded it was a juvenile Tarbosaurus.
An Incredible Discovery. However, it’s not all bad news. The discovery of a new orangutan population in Sarawek, Malaysian Borneo was cause for excitement among conservationists.
Many phylogenetic analyses have found Tarbosaurus bataar to be the sister taxon of T. rex. [61] The discovery of the tyrannosaurid Lythronax further indicates that Tarbosaurus and Tyrannosaurus are closely related, forming a clade with fellow Asian tyrannosaurid Zhuchengtyrannus, with Lythronax being their sister taxon.
