ABSTRACT A juvenile skull of the tyrannosaurid Tarbosaurus bataar found in the Bugjn Tsav locality in the Mongolian Gobi Desert is described. With a total length of 290 mm, the present specimen represents one of the smallest skulls known for this species. Not surprisingly, it shows various characteristics common to juvenile tyrannosaurids, such as the rostral margin of the maxillary fenestra not reaching that of the external antorbital fenestra and the postorbital lacking the cornual process…

Description of juvenile specimens of Prosaurolophus maximus (Hadrosauridae: Saurolophinae) from the Upper Cretaceous Bearpaw Formation of southern Alberta, Canada, reveals ontogenetic changes in crest morphology
TLDR
Three juvenile specimens of Prosaurolophus maximus, represented by articulated to disarticulated skeletons, are the smallest known individuals for the taxon, suggesting that this taxon may have had soft tissue structures associated with the narial-crest region, rather than the bony crest itself, selected for sexual display.
The Cranial Anatomy of the Long-Snouted Tyrannosaurid Dinosaur Qianzhousaurus sinensis from the Upper Cretaceous of China
ABSTRACT Tyrannosaurid theropods topped the terrestrial food chain in North America and Asia during the latest Cretaceous. Most tyrannosaurids, exemplified by Tyrannosaurus rex, had deep snouts,…
A Problematic Tyrannosaurid (Dinosauria: Theropoda) Skeleton and Its Implications for Tyrannosaurid Diversity in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation (Upper Cretaceous) of Alberta
TLDR
It is shown that only a single species of tyrannosaurid is definitively present in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation, greatly simplifying interpretations of tyrannosaursaurid evolution and ecology in this setting.
Ontogenetic Changes in the Craniomandibular Skeleton of the Abelisaurid Dinosaur Majungasaurus crenatissimus from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar
TLDR
Growth trajectories in the shape of individual cranial bones and articulated skulls of Majungasaurus using geometric morphometrics provide a post-hatching developmental framework for understanding the evolution of the distinctive tall skull morphology seen in abelisaurids and other large-sized theropod dinosaurs.
The Osteology of Alioramus, A Gracile and Long-Snouted Tyrannosaurid (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia
TLDR
Anatomical comparisons indicate that the long skull of Alioramus is an autapomorphic feature that is proportionally longer than in any other known tyrannosaurid specimen, including juveniles, and that AlIORamus is morphologically distinctive relative to similarly sized individuals of the contemporary and sympatric Tarbosaurus.
PROBABLE JUVENILE FRONTAL OF DASPLETOSAURUS HORNERI (DINOSAURIA: THEROPODA) FROM THE TWO MEDICINE FORMATION OF MONTANA, WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR TYRANNOSAURID ONTOGENY
  • Chan-Gyu Yun
  • Environmental Science, Biology
    Acta Palaeontologica Romaniae
  • 2022
A partial left frontal (UCM 55499) of a small tyrannosaurid theropod from the Campanian Two Medicine Formation of Montana is described, and is considered to probably represent a juvenile of…
Reanalysis of “Raptorex kriegsteini”: A Juvenile Tyrannosaurid Dinosaur from Mongolia
TLDR
It is suggested that there is currently no evidence to support the conclusion that tyrannosaurid skeletal design first evolved in the Early Cretaceous at small body size, and the probable juvenile status of LH PV18 makes its use as a holotype unreliable.
The Braincase Anatomy of the Late Cretaceous Dinosaur Alioramus (Theropoda: Tyrannosauroidea)
ABSTRACT The late Cretaceous tyrannosaurid Alioramus altai is known from a single specimen whose articulated braincase exhibits a nearly unique combination of preservational quality, subadult stage…

Giant theropod dinosaurs from Asia and North America: skulls of Tarbosaurus bataar and Tyrannosaurus rex compared
TLDR
A paleogeographically based division of the Tyrannosaurinae into the Asiatic forms (Tarbosaurus and possibly Alioramus) and North American forms (Daspletosaurus and Tyranno− saurus) is supported by differences in anatomy of the two groups.
Craniofacial ontogeny in Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Coelurosauria)
TLDR
An increase in tooth width, accompanied by loss of tooth positions, and a global shift from an immature gracile to a mature robust morphotype in the craniofacial skeleton typifies the ontogenetic changes in T. rex.

Skeletal remains of Late Cretaceous (Campanian and Maastrichtian) tyrannosauroids are rare in southwestern North America (Carr and Williamson, 2000). Historically, the identity and diversity of…
A long-snouted, multihorned tyrannosaurid from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia
TLDR
This specimen conclusively demonstrates that Alioramus is a small, gracile, long-snouted carnivore that deviates from other tyrannosaurids in its body plan and presumably its ecological habits, and increases the range of morphological diversity in one of the most familiar extinct clades.
A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF TYRANNOSAUROID FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS (MIDDLE CAMPANIAN) DEMOPOLIS FORMATION OF ALABAMA
TLDR
Cladistic analysis indicates the new taxon is a basal tyrannosauroid and its presence in eastern North America suggests that the recent common ancestor of Tyrannosauridae probably evolved following the transgression of the Western Interior Seaway.
Diversity of late Maastrichtian Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from western North America
TLDR
The tooth taxon Aublysodon mirandus was reinstated following the collection of nondenticulate tyrannosaurid premaxillary teeth from late Maastrichtian deposits in western North America, but is a nomen dubium because of the small size of Aublysdon crowns and evidence that some denticles develop late in growth in theropods.

Osteology of Tyrannosaurus Rex: Insights from a nearly complete Skeleton and High-Resolution Computed Tomographic Analysis of the Skull
TLDR
High-resolution x-ray computed tomographic analysis of the skull reveals internal details not previously observed, raising several possibilities, including the complete absence of a bony sternum in tyrannosaurids.
