Dueling Dinosaurs Fossil Shocks Scientists: ‘Teenage T. rex’ Was a New Species All Along

A Decades-Long Dinosaur Mystery For over 40 years, paleontologists have wrangled over mysterious tyrannosaur fossils that didn’t quite fit the mold of T. rex. The controversy began with a small skull found in 1942 in Montana’s Hell Creek Formation – the same Late Cretaceous deposit that yielded T. rex. In 1988, some researchers formally named that skull Nanotyrannus lancensis, meaning “dwarf tyrant,” proposing it was a new pygmy tyrannosaur speciesnationalgeographic.com.

Chevron’s Next Big Move: CVX Stock Could Skyrocket on $55B Hess Deal & Low-Carbon Push
