Many tyrannosaurid skeletons have been collected in Canada, the United States, and Mongolia. These fossils tend to represent mature individuals, but juveniles are also known. Skeletons of five genera of tyrannosaurids representing two distinct clades (albertosaurines and tyrannosaurines) were measured, and bivariate analysis was done on 85 dimensions. Allometric differences among mature specimens of different species are shown to be trivial when compared with the allometric differences… CONTINUE READING
