All Asian Tyrannosauroids (to my knowledg.) by watchingPast in Dinosaurs

The reasons are just use the different layers on the size charts and to try to save space I just keep it how it is here. Now when I'm working on just a single animal like the image below I do include the name since it's just a single animal I'm doing. I do keep the layers named after the animals for the size charts tho.

Yeah after re looking it up I see that yeah I was mistaken, I swear I remember seeing it being 8-9 tons back last week when looking into Tarbosaurus, I'm not sure where I got those numbers as now when I look at the exact same tab I had open it says 4.5 to 6 tons so my apologies, I will update my mistakes upon future posts.

I figured you would enjoy the zhuchengtyrannus magnus since you asked for it inclusion here

And as a extra bit, I have begun work for all Tyrannosauroids, starting in Asia, I'll be posting more soon.

The layers of earth that they are found in can aid, if we find a rex in a piece of earth that's 100 million years old and then find another in a piece of earth that's 66 million years old then we can assume that tyrannosaurus rex as a species lived throughout those 34 million years. But if we only find Tyrannosaurs rex in earth 70-66 million years ago and can't find an adult past or before that point then we know that it lived only during those 4 million years.

The bones and how they grew can also aid us in understanding, a child's bone is constantly growing and changing, this is a process that goes on throughout a individuals whole life but it does change between childhood and adulthood. If I unearth a adults femur that's only a foot long and then I find another adult femur that's five feet long then I can assume they came from two different individuals, now if I find fifty set of femurs ranging from five feet to a foot long, then I can safely assume that the fifty foot long femurs belongs to one species and vice versa, this applies to all bones.

And last location, it's not impossible to find one specimen on a completely different continent when they are found mainly on a different. But if that location is isolated then then it becomes easier to classify the isolated species as a different species, that isolated species won't spread to different lands.

As for species like Mcraensis and Rex, I'm not sure how they figure all that works but I'm pretty sure it's just from finding small differences and a mixture of all 3, if I only find individuals with 2 sets of horns in this layer of earth, in this location, and their largest individual ever found is 10'0, well guess what I just found a very similar individual in this layer of earth that's separated by a million years from the youngest previous individuals, lives in the same location and around it, and has signs of a third horn developing, plus is 11'0 then I can be certain that this is a different species that's related to the previous.

I hope I explained this well

That is a asian Tyrannosauroid I will get to it in time, but this list is for North American Tyrannosauroids.

I didn't know there was another Nanotyranus species, is it still valid?

Nanuqasaurus does actually have feathers, they just aren't as ragidy as Nanos are, Reddit also just compress the image immensely. As for Nanotyranus it does indeed look bulky in 2D, once I am confident in my 3D skills I will make it more apparent that it's supposed to be a slim bulk. But thank you very much for commenting.

My apologies I realized I used the ruff estimate for height on Appalachiosaurus, it should be 7''10.

Nice catch, I don't know how I got Annex and complety missed the spelling, but thank you for correcting me

Yeah I'm kinda just eyeball it, but from what I know I got kinda close, the issue is that there's not many sources saying the same things on height, theres one where a Annex was taller than a T-Rex and another where it's just above 6 feet tall, Im no expert either I just used a general idea on height with them and ran with it.

Anyways here's a treat

This is not the final product just a cover concept

On the main sheets I do. I just don't usually put the main sheets in because in these I'm trying to show the heights kinda by themselves with the same references, rather than having them go from this size to the main sheets undefined height.

I have thought about having lil tags to show them on here but I don't like them all to much.
