What was initially thought to be another \u2018teenage T. rex\u2019 turned out, after intensive analysis, to be an adult representative of a previously controversial genus. In the journal Nature, researchers present evidence that the animal differs significantly from Tyrannosaurus rex in almost every bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The finest differences in skull structure, nerve pathways and limbs reveal that this animal was not a juvenile, but a fully grown specimen. This disproves one of the most persistent theories in palaeontology \u2013 the assumption that smaller tyrannosaurs were merely immature T. rexes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018The evidence has always been there, but now it&#8217;s overwhelming,\u2019 says British palaeontologist Nicholas Longrich. \u2018This specimen differs from the T. rex in almost every bone in its body.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nanotyrannus_From_taboo_subject_to_recognised_species\"><\/span>Nanotyrannus: From taboo subject to recognised species<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name Nanotyrannus is a controversial term in scientific history. Since its first description in 1946 by US palaeontologist Charles Gilmore, the \u2018dwarf tyrannosaur\u2019 has been considered a questionable classification. For decades, the prevailing opinion was that it was merely a juvenile T. rex \u2013 until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new study not only confirms the independence of Nanotyrannus, but also suggests that there may have been two different species within this genus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Nanotyrannus is real \u2013 and that forces us to completely rethink the evolution of tyrannosaurs,\u2019 explains Steve Brusatte, palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_turning_point_the_%E2%80%98duelling_dinosaurs\"><\/span>The turning point: the \u2018duelling dinosaurs\u2019<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key specimen comes from the so-called \u2018Duelling Dinosaurs\u2019 site, which was acquired by the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in 2021. The fossils \u2013 around 30,000 pounds of bone and rock \u2013 show a Nanotyrannus and a Triceratops that apparently died in battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detailed examination revealed several anomalies: for example, the hand of the supposedly young T. rex was larger than that of a fully grown T. rex \u2013 a clear sign that it could not have been the same animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysis of the growth rings in the bones also confirmed that the animal was about 20 years old and fully grown. So it was not a young animal \u2013 but a small, agile predator species that lived at the same time as the gigantic T. rex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Jane_case_A_second_Nanotyrannus\"><\/span>The Jane case: A second Nanotyrannus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research team led by Lindsay Zanno and James Napoli then examined more than 120 known fossils and came across further surprises. The well-known skeleton \u2018Jane\u2019, long considered to be a juvenile T. rex, turned out to be a representative of a second Nanotyrannus species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was given the scientific name Nanotyrannus lethaeus \u2013 named after the mythological river Lethe, whose waters bring forgetfulness. \u2018A fitting name for an animal that remained hidden from view for decades,\u2019 said Zanno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all researchers are convinced. US palaeontologist Thomas Carr, who long argued that Nanotyrannus was a young T. rex, now at least acknowledges that the new specimen represents a separate species. But he remains sceptical that \u2018Jane\u2019 is a second species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Science means being willing to give up your beliefs when new evidence emerges,\u2019 says Carr. \u2018I thought we had the answer \u2013 but apparently we still know very little about the evolution of tyrannosaurs.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_the_dispute_lasted_so_long\"><\/span>Why the dispute lasted so long<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One reason for the decades of uncertainty is that many fossils of young T. rex are privately owned and not accessible to researchers. This meant that important comparative samples were missing. In addition, the topic was politically charged in academic palaeontology \u2013 proponents of the Nanotyrannus concept were often considered outsiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Some of my colleagues even made fun of us online,\u2019 recalls Peter Larson, who has believed in the existence of Nanotyrannus since the 1990s. \u2018Now the tide seems to have turned.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_new_look_at_the_Cretaceous_period\"><\/span>A new look at the Cretaceous period<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the new findings are confirmed, it means that 67 million years ago, at least two species of tyrannosaur roamed the North American plains \u2013 the massive, multi-ton Tyrannosaurus rex and the smaller, faster Nanotyrannus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Nanotyrannus was probably more agile and hunted different prey than the T. rex,\u2019 says Longrich. \u2018It was the predator that stood between Velociraptor and T. rex \u2013 a true medium-sized hunter.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while experts are still sorting things out, Longrich is delighted with the new insights: \u2018The beauty of science is that it constantly reminds us how little we know. Nanotyrannus is real \u2013 and it makes the Cretaceous period a lot more exciting.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new fossil from Montana is causing a stir in the world of palaeontology: a comprehensive study has settled the long-standing debate about the so-called \u2018juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex\u2019.
