Am I right in guessing by that jaw that this animal had fewer teeth (and possibly a more massively built skull) than T. Rex and Tarbosaurus? Yay, a new Tyrannosaurid! I would ike to make a drawing out of him... Do you think it was more similar to Tarbo or T.rex? Or i should go for a completely different restoration? As the blog post says, the only difference is a slight ridge on one of the skull bones and a small notch on one of the interior skull bones not seen in the others. So it would look identical to Tarbosaurus on the outside (but probably a different color). Think lion vs. tiger.

Plus, genera are subjective and all that. And Tarbosaurus was lumped into Tyrannosaurus; in fact, it stated of as a species of Tyrannosaurus.
Oh well, paleontologists will be paleontologists and go against polispecific genera. Meh, I'd prefeer to forget about Tyrannosaurinae, use Tyrannosaurus, and give me some reason to use Tyrannosaurus rex. Or Tyrannosaurus magnus, which would sound awesome.

I know it's terrible, but I will always think of this when I hear the specific name: Not even the handgun.
