Original Nanotyrannus sp. Tyrannosaur tooth from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana, Late Cretaceous Maastrichtian (ca. 68–66 million years ago), natural condition, about 2 cm in size.
Description from the seller
科学名: Tyrannosaur Dinosaur - Nanotyrannus sp - Theropod Dinosaur Tooth
場所: Fallon Co., モンタナ州 (私有地), アメリカ
Geological Formation: Hell Creek Fm
Age: 後期白亜紀、 Maastrichtian 段階(約 6800万〜6600万年前)
Size: 2cm
REF.: #J116
DESCRIPTION:
authentic Nanotyrannus sp. tooth from the famous Late Cretaceous deposits of Montana, USA.
It exhibits exceptionally well-preserved serrations along the cutting edge (carina). Only in the tip sector its little eroded.
100% natural, with absolutely no restoration or repairs.
Nanotyrannus lancensis is a small, fast, agile tyrannosaur from the Late Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation (originally part of the Lance Formation), known for being small and distinctly different from T. rex, with recent studies confirming it's a separate species, not a juvenile T. rex, based on unique features like more teeth, larger hands, and distinct bone structures. Meaning "dwarf tyrant," it was a capable predator of smaller prey, coexisting with T. rex.
Key Facts
Name Meaning: "Dwarf tyrant" from Greek nanos (dwarf) and tyrannos (tyrant).
Species Name: lancensis refers to the Lance Formation where its skull was found.
Size: Around 15-18 feet long, much smaller and lighter than an adult T. rex.
Habitat: Hell Creek Formation (Late Cretaceous), same time and place as T. rex.
Lifestyle: Fast, agile pursuit predator, likely hunting smaller dinosaurs like pachycephalosaurs.
Controversy: Long debated as either a distinct species or juvenile T. rex, but recent evidence strongly supports it as its own genus.
Distinguishing Features: Narrower skull, more teeth, larger hands, and different bone structures than T. rex.
The Debate & Resolution
Juvenile T. rex Theory: 多くの科学者が、Hell Creek の小型 tyrannosaur 化石は若い T. rex だと考えていました。なぜなら大きな Nanotyrannus 化石が存在せず、T. rex 幼体は稀だったからです。
Separate Species Theory: 研究者は Nanotyrannus の化石が大人の特徴(癒合した骨など)を示し、T. rex が決して発達し得なかった独自の特徴を持つことを発見し、T. rex に成長することは生物学的に不可能だと結論づけました。
Current Consensus: Nanotyrannus は小型の tyrannosaur の独立した属であり、T. rex と共存する独自の、機敏な捕食者として認識されています。
