Found alongside its much larger cousin, the infamous T-rex, paleontologist have long debated whether Nanotyrannus is a distinct species or just juvenile T-rexes. This fierce debate continues today, with many paleontologist subscribing to either side. If Nanotyrannus is a valid species, it represents a strange turn in Tyrannosaur evolution. During the last 15 million years of the Cretaceous period, the Tyrannosaurs of North America were getting progressively larger, a process which culminated in T-rex. Nanotyrannus however lived, alongside T-rex and yet was much smaller (about 16 feet long) than the proceeding Tyrannosaurs which it itself evolved from!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA great piece from a fascinating North American dinosaur at the center of one of the greatest debates in the history of paleontology!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of my items come with a Certificate of Authenticity!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThank you for reading please contact me with any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave a wonderful day!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecies: Nanotyrannus \u003cem\u003elancensis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: \u003cspan\u003e.55 inches (1.41 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e slant length\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFound: Garfield County, Montana, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormation: Hell Creek Formation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: 68-66 million years old\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepair: None\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jako's Fossils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68157702078684,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9413\/2412\/files\/IMG_6348_fa13e9aa-e4a6-4ceb-9b12-2af7f19008b2.jpg?v=1794196356","url":"https:\/\/jakosfossils.com\/products\/nanotyrannus-fossil-tooth-55-inches-with-no-repair","provider":"Jako's Fossil Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
