To you paleonerds and paleontologists, this is obviously a Yutyrannus. A large, three-fingered member of the superfamily Tyrannosauroidea, one with direct evidence of feathers. This is one of the few times I've seen it depicted in a work of fiction, so I applaud the writers.

I hope I'm not too late. I'd like to wish a Happy 120th Birthday to the Tyrant Lizard King itself🎂🎈💯🔥

I adore them! One of my fav dinos but in all fairness I'm extremely weak for feathery carnivorous therapods, especially anything Dromaeosaurid or Tyrannosauroidea.
Spinosaurids are up there too for me as well

Back to Big Speen, the fact Megalosauroidea is relatively close to Allosauroidea is nothing short of fascinating, to say the least

My favorite dinosaurs are tyrannosaurs. Which one? All of them. The entire Tyrannosauroidea superfamily. Including megaraptorans (even before I started seeing evidence of them maybe being basal tyrannosauroids).

Before I start giving my thoughts on this paper, I would like to say that these authors are working off of megaraptorans being basal tyrannosauroids, due to that being the most consistent with past phylogenies (along with Megaraptora and Tyrannosauroidea as sister clades). 2/15

I spent some time manually building a consensus dinosaur phylogeny in Mesquite, and then collecting age data and time-calibrating it. And it was only after several days of staring at it that I realised I left out Tyrannosauroidea. The most famous dinosaurs. Subconscious??

Mixed thoughts on the Tyrannosauridae ICZN ruling. Reversal of precedence with Deinodontidae was needed but Dryptosauridae is not a synonym of Tyrannosauridae and ICZN Art 35.5 is sufficient to preserve Tyrannosauroidea.

They're different levels of taxonomic rankings. "Tyrannosaurus" is a genus, which is a group of closely related species (rex, mcraeensis and possibly bataar.) "Tyrannosauroidea" is a superfamily, which is a much broader category that encompasses a grouping of closely related families.

Dino Fact!
Santanaraptor (Santana Formation Thief) is a tyrannosauroid(?) from Early Cretaceous Brazil! Though it's mainly placed within the Tyrannosauroidea clade nowadays, it's debated if it may belong elsewhere in Coelurosauria! It's hard to know for certain, as it's-(1/2)
