Abstract excerpt

<p>Abstract: Tyrannosaurs, giant predatory dinosaurs from the end of the Cretaceous, are among the most intensively researched and best-known groups of dinosaurs. Despite this, their relationships and systematics are highly controversial, and the number of tyrannosaur species occurring in the latest Cretaceous in North America is debated. An ongoing debate concerns the status of Nanotyrannus lancensis, which has v...
