Tyrannosaurus rex |
|
Tyrannosaurus rex was a large theropod dinosaur. The animal was a
carnivore (meat-eater), and lived in North America and Asia
during late Cretaceous period, about 67 to 65 million years ago.
It was one of the last dinosaurs, and probably went
extinct
during the the Cretaecous-Tertiary mass extinction.
An average Tyrannosaurus was about about 39 feet (11.9 metres) long, up to
20 feet (6.1 metres) tall, and weighed around 7 tons.
- The largest known Tyrannosaurus
fossil specimen,
yet found, is 42 feet (12.8 metres) long, nicknamed "Sue", and exhibited
at the
Field Museum of Natural History
in
Chicago,
Illinois.
- The first Tyrannosaurus ever found, was found by
Barnum Brown in
1902
in
Montana.
Until the mid-1990s, it was generally thought that Tyrannosaurus was the largest
land predator ever. Then, scientists discovered Gigantosaurus which
lived was a 45 feet (13.8 metre) long carnivore that lived in Argentina about 100
million years ago. New research, first published in
2006, now suggests
that
Spinosaurus may have been even
larger still: upto 51 feet (17 metres) long.
Since the 1960s, some scientists have argued that Tyrannosaurus was not
a fearsome predator, but a slow-moving scavenger, that fed on carcasses
killed by other carnivores.
However, other B>scientists
argue that the possibility of binocular vision (Tyrannosaurus rex has
two forward facing eyes), and the relatively large areas of the
brain associated with sight and smell, suggest it must have been an active predator.
The name Tyrannosaurus rex
was chosen by
Henry Fairfield Osborn
in
1905,
and like most scientific names of animals is derived from Ancient Greek.
"Tyrannosaurus" means "tyrant lizard",
"rex" means "king", and hence in combination
"Tyrannosaurus rex" means
"tyrant king lizard".

With its massive head, enormous jaws, and formidable teeth, Tyrannosaurus rex has long been the young person's favorite creepy carnivore in the Mesozoic zoo. Nor has T. rex been ignored by the scientific community, as this new collection amply demonstrates. Scientists explore such questions as why T. rex had such small forelimbs; how the dinosaur moved; what bone pathologies tell us about life in the Cretaceous; and whether T. rex was a predator, a scavenger, or both. There are reports on newly discovered skeletons, on variation and sexual dimorphism, and how the big beasts chewed. The methods used by the contributors to unlock the mysteries of T. rex range from "old fashioned" stratigraphy to contemporary computer modeling. Together they yield a wealth of new information about one of the dinosaur world's most famous carnivores. An enclosed CD-ROM presents additional photographic and filmed reconstructions of the mighty beast. |
