🦖 Big news about a ‘little’ tyrant: new research finds that Nanotyrannus wasn’t a baby T. rex after all!
Through examining the throat bone of the Nanotyrannus, researchers found that while smaller, the species was a fully grown and distinct predator during its time.

Some Didelphodon canines Fran found when we were in Montana for a dig with Dr. Carr in 2021. We return to the field for the first time since to hunt for dinosaurs again this summer through the Carnegie. #FossilFriday

A dinosaur tooth of an indeterminate sauropod, likely a titanosauriform from the Irhazer Group in the Agadez Region of Niger. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but the robust torpedo shaped morphology would suggest a macronarian of some kind. #FossilFriday

Using a huge dataset of meg teeth from Spain & Portugal, this work reaffirms support for a previously identified Spanish nursery area, rejecting a hypothesis of Mediterranean-wide insular dwarfism.
Many congrats to the authors! 🦈
