Kids Discover The Newest Juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex Skeleton! - Meet Teen Rex

Every dinosaur fossil has some information to provide, however minor that may be. However, some are more important than others. The more complete a specimen is, the better. The rarer the dinosaur, the better. That is why every single Pachycephalosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and Torosaurus are cause of celebration. What might be even more important and valuable are useful specimens of immature individuals from these well-known dinosaurs. That is because juvenile animals are rarely ever found - they are smaller, lighter, and became snacks for other animals more frequently. Discovery of juvenile dinosaurs can provide a broader understanding of ancient biodiversity and ecology. It’s just a shame that Tyrannosaurus is so popular because many of the juveniles found so far have been sold off to unknown individuals.

And THIS is the reason why proper education is so important :^) good to see kids actually understanding the world around them, helping with discoveries, and learning even more about science. With a surge of conservatism and anti-intellectualism, a lot of kids from such families have no clue what fossils are, or straight up think they're fake and government propaganda. This is lovely!!

[@walkingwithdragons251]

I wouldn't be surprised if nanotyrannus turns out to be related to a different Tyrannosaurid genus all together, probably a westren dryptosurid if i have to guess

[@kylecollier7569]

I mean it would make sense if Nanotyrannus (IF it would be permanently considered a valid genus) to be a Dryptosaurid as Dryptosaurus itself is known from the same age as T-Rex, just living on the east coast instead of the western portion of North America. But for Nanotyrannus to be a Dryptosaurid, it would have to mean that at some point before the asteroid impact, a population of Dryptosauids had to have crossed a very temporary land bridge between Laramida and Appalachia before the Interior Seaway flooded over said bridge and in a brief period of time became Nanotyrannus.

[@bennettfender9927]

@@kylecollier7569Actually if I’m not mistaken the Western Interior Seaway had already shrunk significantly in size by the time T.rex was around so a land bridge likely wouldn’t even be necessary.

I appreciate your view on the 'just juvenile T.rex's' versus Nanotyrannus (or another taxon) debate. Some individuals are far too certain on one side or the other on this issue. When a whole more work and specimens are needed to clear up the mystery.

I wish it along with T.Rex: Ultimate Survivor was released as either a Double Documentary feature DVD or a 2 Disc DVD set in America that I could add to my collection of one of my favorite National Geographic Documentaries on Modern & Prehistoric Animals. Especially those that have yet to released on DVD In America all these years & some that need to be re-released just Incase if some of us never get any of them in time earlier. 10:09 However, I better keep my eyes open for this that might premiere at any Museum & Science Centers I know of in the Eastern Seaboard of the United States that I come from.

The problem with studying nature this old is it's really difficult, often we get it wrong and more often it brings a lot of disagreement amongst scientists.

[@davidperry511]

Hypothesis. Juvenile T rex have more teeth due to different prey, since the larger adults need a more powerful bite, losing teeth would allow less contact points for the psi, and thus allow for more force to be carried on those points, allowing a more effective bite. The Juveniles have more teeth due to not needing as much psi on a certain point as compared to simply catching their more agile prey. I'm a genius. Had to put it here 17 hours later before I forgot it

[@reeyees50]

Or they literally just lost teeth as they age due to all the biting and fighting with its prey. And infections, aging etc

[@EDGEscience]

That wouldn't account for tooth sockets.

[@davidperry511]

@@reeyees50 that too, but tooth sockets don't disappear, so they'd either have to slowly grow, lose teeth, and have those sockets be filled with bone, or just slowly lose sockets for more psi as they age

Watch it get bought by a billionaire

[@EDGEscience]

It is literally owned by the DMNS.

[@Riceball01]

That only happens when a specimen is found on private land (typically by private fossil hunting companies) and from the sounds of it, this wasn't the case here. Besides, once a museum or university gets their hands on a specimen it's definitively not up for sale, esp. when it's being prepared. No institution can afford the man hours involved in preparing a fossil that they don't own and can be bought from underneath them, and fewer still can afford to do that and create a new preparation and display space just for it. So, no, it's not for sale and it's not going to be bought from underneath them.

[@WesleyAtwater-ur1mj]

8:39 I feel like it should be noted that juveniles of other tyrannosaurs are known preserved fully articulated with arms MPC-D 107/7 is a great example it’s a 2-3 year old Tarbosaurus and it clearly has proportionally tiny arms like adult tyrannosaurs The arm is significantly shorter than the femur This is true of, every well-preserved Gorgosaurus and Tarbosaurus I think it’s clear that tyrannosaurs do not grow into and/or shrink into their arms

[@EDGEscience]

True, but that doesn't rule out T. rex being a weirdo.

[@WesleyAtwater-ur1mj]

@@EDGEscience true dat! Rex is very much unique in & of itself! I think a way to falsify or confirm it would be looking at subadult rex material Is it transitional between the D.D. Tyrannosaur and adult rex? Or is it significantly smaller than both? UCRC PV1 is potentially important Rex material because it’s an articulated arm PIN 553-1 “Gorgosaurus lancinator” is a subadult Tarbosaurus that could also have some merit, since Tarb & Rex are so similar Obviously I’m getting ahead of myself cuz the D.D. Tyrannosaur isn’t even published yet but this is a fun discussion :)

This video reminded me to ask if someone has a dinosaur bone but they aren’t sure the species it belongs to who should they contact? I have a bone that I was told was from a baby Triceratops. Personally I think based off looking a pictures of theropod skeletons that it’s either a toe, rib, finger, or tail vertebrae of a theropod but which one I don’t know. Who should I contact about what I believe is a dinosaur bone that I have?

[@EDGEscience]

Any paleontologists or geologists in your local area (museums, institutions, universities, BLM, National Parks or Monuments, etc.), you'll have to do the research yourself since it is area specific. If none exist, start emailing anyone that is labeled a paleontologist or geologist online.

dinosaurs like triceratops,T. rex,edmontosaurus,ankylosaurus,and sauropod dinosaurs are they bulletproof? I ask because turtles are the sister of archosaurs but there totality different compare to dinosaurs,the only animal skin is close to dinosaurs skin is birds and crocodiles but dinosaurs skin is unique to compare any animal even the legs and even the head and the eyes some dinosaurs like ceratopsians have a protection around their eyes,even their big horns are protecting their eyes and so does ankylosaurus and also the dinosaur size helps the skin to be even thicker how do we know this because of their mummified skin which leads to so many questions.

Here's my problem with the "Nano" debate....they want to call it Nano because of its size....yet every one of the ones they claim are Nano's...are juveniles...which means it will get BIGGER..SO ITS NOT A FUCKING NANO ANYTHING!!! How are you going to name a full grown specimen the size Acrocanthasaurus(given for illustration) ...NANO!!

[@EDGEscience]

Nanotyrannus is a genus name. It would remain a Nanotyrannus regardless of age. That being said, no adult Nanotyrannus has ever been found. It's one of the big pieces of evidence used to lump Nanotyrannus into the Tyannosaurus genus.

[@firegator6853]

I personally dont feel comfortable claiming that there is no nanotyrannus...the last paper got me thinking well and a friend of mine who thinks nanotyrannus is valid genus has brought up some good points like arm size or like some skull features that could completely show that its a thrannosaurid not even closely related to trex itself...the most convincing thing to me is the arm size because bloody mary hands are bigger than even a fully grown trex, no animal shrinks bodyparts as it grows, they either grow with it or simply stay same size and with the growth of the rest lf the body they create the illusion that they "shrink" but no, bloody mary hands are straight up different from adult trex
