Tyrannosaurs, the lineage of carnivorous theropod ("beast feet") dinosaurs that include T.
Scientists could also work out the
Tyrannosaur died from a massive blow to the skull and chest.
However with information available about the numbers of T-Rex in the rocks of the Hell Creek formation it is the closest we have got so far to discovering a
tyrannosaur track.
