Nanotyrannus is real. For years I’ve considered many mid-sized gracile tyrannosaurs to be juvenile T. rex. But I was wrong. This stunning new skeleton of a mature long-armed small tyrannosaur is clearly a different species. Isn’t science fun?! https://t.co/EUWFzZyos6

As a scientist in the dinosaur ontogeny game for over 20yrs, I can say that most of my colleagues were skeptical of Nanotyrannus. Now the most outspoken critics buy it. Thrilled to see this incredible work out. Huge congrats to @ExpeditionLive & @JGN_Paleo https://t.co/czR1zOtZNk

After decades of fierce debate, researchers say fossils once thought to be juvenile T. rex actually belong to a separate, sleeker species of tyrannosaur.

If it weren't for Lindsay's hard work, grit, and determination, the Dueling Dinosaurs may never have made it to a museum collection. Our field owes her, and everyone who worked with her to bring these specimens into the public trust, a debt of gratitude.

Whew. A little thing happened today. Honored to have done this work with the outstanding @JGN_Paleo. I was a skeptic when I stepped into this, but no denying it #Nanotyrannus is valid. @JGN_Paleo and I left no stone unturned. And by the way, there are juvi T. rex, stay tuned...

Fun day out with Phil Currie— he took me out to see the Danek Edmontosaurus Bonebed. This highly productive site is within the city of Edmonton & is the location of the University of Alberta’s undergrad palaeo field school.

Happy #FossilFriday! The horned #dinosaurs #Stellasaurus (#MOR492), #Einiosaurus (#MOR456_8-9-6-1), & #Achelousaurus (#MOR485) are closely related but found in different layers of the #Cretaceous Two Medicine Formation in #Montana. They may be members of an evolutionary lineage.

These were the dinosaurs that faced the asteroid. Some of the last survivors. They lived in New Mexico, 66 million years ago. Among them was Alamosaurus, the size of a jetplane. We unveiled them, and their true age, today in a new paper in @ScienceMagazine!
