Tyrannosaurus rex is the most attractive and shocking dinosaur family, a large carnivorous dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period. It is also one of the dinosaurs that scientists know the most about and discuss with great enthusiasm. The reason for this is that, in addition to being the largest terrestrial carnivore that has ever appeared on the earth, the main reason is that 11 nearly complete fossil skeletons have been discovered. Through these specimens, scientists can obtain important and comprehensive insights. scientific information and basis.
Recently, in a river valley in southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada, scientists from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum of Canada discovered the world's 12th almost complete Tyrannosaurus rex fossil skeleton. The newly discovered skeleton includes most of the skull, mandible, teeth, vertebrae running from the front of the body to the end of the tail, a belt and a hind leg bone. Although this is not the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex fossil skeleton, nor is it the earliest Tyrannosaurus rex fossil skeleton discovered, it contains the missing bone parts of Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons discovered in the past, thus providing scientists with reliable information to understand Tyrannosaurus rex more comprehensively. basis.
The Tyrannosaurus rex discovered in Saskatchewan was 15 meters long from head to tail. It was a thin and agile slender Tyrannosaurus rex. Its long body has led some scientists to believe that it should be a male Tyrannosaurus rex, but even among male Tyrannosaurus rex, this newly discovered Tyrannosaurus rex can be considered a relatively large individual.
