Tyrannosaurus

Tyrannosaurus is a genus of large, carnivorous theropod dinosaurs from Late Cretaceous western North America, best known for the species Tyrannosaurus rex.

Tyrannosaurus rex: Tyrannosaurus rex is the sole widely recognized species of Tyrannosaurus, a large carnivorous dinosaur from western North America. This species accounts for nearly all familiar anatomy and fossil evidence associated with the genus.
Tyrannosaurus bite force: Tyrannosaurus bite force is the force its jaws could exert when biting. Biomechanical estimates connect its skull and teeth to its ability to crush bone.
Sue (Tyrannosaurus rex): Sue is a large and exceptionally complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton discovered in South Dakota in 1990. Its extensive skeleton has supported research on adult anatomy and injuries.
Late Cretaceous: The Late Cretaceous is the final epoch of the Cretaceous Period, spanning about 100 to 66 million years ago. Tyrannosaurus lived near the end of this interval, before the end-Cretaceous extinction.
Tyrannosaurus scavenging debate: The Tyrannosaurus scavenging debate concerns whether it primarily hunted, scavenged, or did both. Fossils support predatory behavior, but the balance between hunting and scavenging remains disputed.
Theropoda: Theropoda is a diverse group of mostly bipedal dinosaurs that includes modern birds. Tyrannosaurus belongs to this group of predominantly two-legged dinosaurs.
Dinosaur skull biomechanics: Dinosaur skull biomechanics studies how skull structures withstand and transmit forces during feeding. Skull models test how Tyrannosaurus handled the stresses of powerful bites.
Stan (Tyrannosaurus rex): Stan is a well-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton discovered in South Dakota in 1987. Its skull and skeleton provide a prominent comparison with other known individuals.
Laramidia: Laramidia was an island continent formed in western North America during much of the Cretaceous. Tyrannosaurus fossils come from the western landmass where it evolved and lived.
Tyrannosaurus growth studies: Tyrannosaurus growth studies use bone histology and measurements to reconstruct development across the lifespan. Different sample interpretations affect estimates of maturity, growth rate, and adult size.
