Allosaurus fed more like a falcon than a crocodile: Engineering, anatomy work reveals differences in dinosaur feeding styles

Ancestor of T rex, king of the dinosaurs, came from Asia according to new research

Tyrannosaurus rex dominated North America just before the mass extinction 66 million years ago which spelled the end of the “Age of Dinosaurs”. But its ancestors came from Asia according to new research. T. rex is iconic. It is sometimes referred to as the “king of the dinosaurs” due to its massive size. It was one of the largest land predators of all time, measuring up to 13m long and 9 tonnes. The species is known from fossils found in North A…

The mighty T. rex may have thrashed its massive head from side to side to dismember prey, but a new study shows that its smaller cousin Allosaurus was a more dexterous hunter and tugged at prey more like a modern-day falcon.

T. rex ancestors crossed from Asia to North America via land bridge 70 million years ago, says study

A new study based on mathematical modeling weighs in on the fierce debate among paleontologists over the origins of the king of the dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex.

Rise of the King: New Research Unlocks Mystery Origin of Tyrannosaurus rex

The genus Tyrannosaurus most likely arose in North America, although its direct ancestors migrated over from Asia more than 70 million years ago, according to a new study led by University College London paleontologists.

The divergence over the origins of T.rex Disappeared about 66 million years ago, dinosaurs continue to be the subject of scientific research and talk about them. While many fossils have been found so far, sides of the history of these creatures once on Earth are still unknown, or subject to debate. This is the case of the origin of Tyrannosaurus rex, better known as T.rex, one of the best known dinosaurs.
