Tyrannosaurus rex started life as large as a Border Collie, a new paper reports To pet, or not to pet? Hmmm… A new discovery shows that the king of the dinosaurs started life no larger than your average dog. Artist’s impression of a juvenile tyrannosaur. Image credits Julius Csotonyi. Tyrannosaurus rex (‘rex’ is Latin for ‘king’) is perhaps one of the best-known dinosaurs of all time. Movies such as Jurassic Park, and the dinosaur’s own impressive proportions (up to 40 feet / 12 meters in length as an adult) and body shape have cemented its image as a deadly, unstoppable predato...

Fossils of younger tyrannosaurs or eggs have never been found — until now. By  01/26/2021 04:37pm EST Forget Baby Shark, there’s an adorable new baby creature in town — or at least its fossil remains. Researchers have discovered the first baby tyrannosaur fossils in Alberta and Montana, and they provide a glimpse into what the babies were actually like. Plot twist: they’re super cute. Julius Csotonyi An artist's rendering of what the babies might have looked like. While you’re likely familiar with the tyrannosaurus rex (a.k.a. T-Rex), tyrannosaurs encompass a broader range of la...

Scans of fossilised dinosaur remains reveal they were about 3ft long when they took their first steps.

Researchers created 3D scans of two tiny 1 inch dinosaur bones from Canada One was a jaw bone and the other a claw bone - both from embryo tyrannosaurs The team determined that when hatched a tyrannosaur would be about 3ft long It would also have a typical tyrannosaur protruding jawline when it first hatched This small size was surprising given the beast reaches up to 40ft as an adult 

They are among the largest predators ever to walk the Earth, but experts have discovered that some baby tyrannosaurs were only the size of a Border Collie dog when they took their first steps. The first-known fossils of tyrannosaur embryos have shed light on the early development of the colossal animals, which could grow to 40 feet in length and weigh eight tonnes. A team of palaeontologists, led by a University of Edinburgh researcher, made the discovery by examining the fossilised remains of a tiny jaw bone and claw unearthed in Canada and the US.   Producing 3D scans of the delicate fragm...
