來自 Lance Creek 地層、晚白堊世 Maastrichtian(約 6,800–6,600 萬年前)之 Nanotyrannus sp. 霸王龍牙,鑲嵌在自然基質中,博物館級,原始/官方認證,已以 Paraloid B-72 稳定化處理。
賣家描述
Scientific name: Tyrannosaur Dinosaur - Nanotyrannus sp - Theropod Dinosaur Tooth in Natural matrix associated with Garfish scales, hadrosaur tooth and random bones fragments as tiny ribs.
Location: Weston Co., Wyoming (Private Land), USA
Geological Formation: Lance Creek Fm
Age: Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian stage (~68-66 Million Years)
Size: 4cm (Nanotyrannus tooth) - Matrix: 24cm x 12cm x 3cm
REF.: #J605
DESCRIPTION:
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.
Observations obout our specimen: A museum piece, absolutely spectacular. The tooth is still preserved in its natural matrix. It is a spectacular "bone bed" filled with fragments of small bones, garfish scales, and even a small hadrosaurid tooth. The Nanotyrannus tooth has been stabilized with Paraloid B-72 to ensure its long-term stability.
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 and Lance 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;
Juvenile T. rex Theory: Many scientists thought smaller tyrannosaur fossils from Hell Creek and Lance Creek were young T. rex because no large Nanotyrannus fossils existed, and T. rex juveniles were rare.
Separate Species Theory: Researchers found that Nanotyrannus fossils showed adult-like traits (fused bones) and unique features that T. rex never developed, making it biologically impossible to grow into a T. rex.
Current Consensus: Nanotyrannus is a separate, distinct genus of small tyrannosaur, coexisting with T. rex as a unique, agile predator.
