The difference in claw size is interesting. Reminds me of those diagrams we see in textbooks showing how animals evolve from smaller to bigger creatures. About 20 years ago, I found out that such illustrations don't always represent the reality. The skull size of certain creatures was doctored because the sequence in the actual fossils was more erratic ie small skull, bigger skull, suddenly small again, smaller, then MUCH bigger, etc etc. Then we hadda test on related subject that the teacher had to revise after we saw a video exposing certain fraudulent claims regarding 'missing links' and such. There's a lot more uncertainty than many let on... Agh, 4give my tangent. None of those gripes with this video, to be sure 😎

[@Bunny-ns5ni]

No, nanotyrannus is the same exact species as Tyrannosaurs rex. It's just a different growth stage. There is no evidence to suggest that they are different species at all.

[@chuckrothans7535]

@@Bunny-ns5ni what about what they just did right there in that video?

[@Bunny-ns5ni]

@@chuckrothans7535 what they said was exactly like saying that a 5 year old child is a different species from an adult human. The fusion of the skull and longer arms don't classify as evidence, because young animals tend to experience bone fusion early in life, even with larger animals. Puppies, kittens, calves, young reptiles and birds go through it very early into their lives. As a Tyrannosaurus ages, it's arms would decrease in size relative to it's body, due to the near uselessness of it's forelimbs, and the importance of it's bite force. This "expert" was making biased assumptions and judgements without accurately assessing the evidence against him. He may be knowledgeable in tyrannosaurids, but doesn't understand ontogeny. Especially since in the last two years, it's been agreed decisively, along with addressing evidence, that nanotyrannus and Tyrannosaurus rex are infact the same species. Ontogenally, ecologically, and biologically, they are associated in the same way. There is no evidence to support their separation as different genera.

[@chuckrothans7535]

@@Bunny-ns5ni I understand what you are saying, I work with animals I'm a wildlife biologist. I understand Ontology, ecology, and the biology of animals. An yes this "expert " might have been biased in his assumptions and judgment but considering that he has spent years in his field studying the fossils of tyrannosaurids he should be able to tell the difference. He doesn't have anything really to gain from lying about what this Dinosaur is, doing something like that would damage his reputation, credibility, and his job. No one would do that unless they truly have a proper understanding of what he does. And as for the slight differences between this fossil and other tyrannosaurus specimens doesn't mean that it's exactly the same species or not for example lion and tiger skeletons look almost perfectly identical. If they both went extinct a long time ago without even ever being seen by the eye's of people or any photos evidence to prove that they are different species then people would have just believed that the two skeletons were from the same species and not two completely different species.

there are so many problems with this video and the declaration of "new species" 1st. They conflate genus and species in this video to a painful degree. Tyrannosaurus is the GENUS, Rex is the SPECIES. Another SPECIES of Tyrannosaurus would be T.Imperator or possibly T.Bataar. They are arguing for a new GENUS not SPECIES, as Nanotyrannus has been postulated to be a separate genus 2nd. If they did legitimately discover a "new species" it would be named and credited. This is about paleontological drama 10+ years in the making. Nothing "new" about this 3rd. They called in one (1) singular expert for his opinion? Who VERY clearly has a bias? Even if he is right (which is unlikely) he came to this conclusion in one single visit to one single specimen in an afternoon. Id hardly call that precise. Also why only one guy? Why not at least 2 to get 2nd opinions? its almost as if... 4th. At the end of the video, it makes it obvious that this video and entire situation has been misconstrued for profit. Not only do stories like this ALWAYS get exaggerated on a daily basis in dinosaur news to generate clicks/views, but at the end the rancher (who owns the fossil) outright ADMITS that he is looking to SELL the fossil. now it makes complete sense as to why he would contact a fanboy of "nanotyrannus" to be the one and ONLY paleontologist to come out and see the specimen, so he would declare "NEW SPECIES WOW! DEBATE SOLVED!!!" as that would earn a much larger paycheck than just another Tyrannosaurus specimen. Specimens in situations EXACTLY like this are sold as false scientific breakthroughs when in reality they are average specimens, so they can be sold for higher prices all the time. China is infamous for this exact practice.

[@lucasbachmann]

You are not wrong - but it may be worth noting that the lines between where one genus ends and another begins is a bit blurry, arbitrary, and just a human word - especially with fossils. And in this case I'm not convinced nano-t-rex isn't just a baby t-rex anyway. Which just demonstrates how difficult assigning a genus is.

If it ever is, they said they were auctioning the skeleton as these are independent fossil diggers. No guarantee it will be bought by a Museum/scientific organization to be studied vs being bought by some insanely wealthy private collector who will just lock it away in their private collection

Congratulations on the find I think that's beyond wonderful

[@aeroganja3515]

@4:51 how is it hard to consider, that maybe, like crocs....they don't necessarily 'stop growing'. Given enough food, and more time, they just get bigger.

I can't argue with the presented evidence that it's most likely not a juvenile T-Rex, but I'm not sure I like Larson's insistence that it must be Nanotyrannus when the bones aren't even fully prepared yet. I'm highly skeptical of anything claiming to be Nanotyrannus, and the more insistent someone is about something controversial like this, the more skeptical I get.

"Rancher Finds T-Rex Bones That Turn Out To Be A Brand New Dinosaur Species" - more clickbait nonsense - this and other purported specimens are NOT confirmed as a new species

There's plenty of talented people who make good 3d models nowadays, whoever was responsible for that turbosquid level trex animations should be fired.

damn you guys have a trained eye, all I see is dirt and rock, removing the bone cast from the rock must be difficult and very slow,

Probably just chicken bones. A huge one
