innovate Qianzhousaurus sinensis — a new confirmed species of long - snouted Tyrannosaurus rex that menaced the Earth 66 million years ago . The late discovery of its fossilise remains confirms a longstanding theory about tyrannosaurs .

This slender , 30 - understructure - tenacious dinosaur live on during the late Cretaceous . It belonged to the same crime syndicate as Tyrannosaurus rex , but its skull was markedly different than that of its famous cousin — one that made up about 70 % of its full distance . Qianzhousaurus also sport teeth that were long and minute , whereas the T. king had deep muscular jaws and thick teeth .

premature discovery of juvenile specimen suggest that some tyrannosaurs had elongated hooter . The finding of an grownup now confirms this suspicion , finally allow the paleontologists to declare an totally Modern socio-economic class , or clade , of dinosaur . The fresh specimen was report by scientists from the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences and the University of Edinburgh .

“ This is a different breed of tyrannosaur , ” noted study co - author Steve Brusatte in a assertion . “ It has the familiar toothy smiling of T. king , but its snout was much longer and it had a run-in of horns on its nose . It might have looked a minuscule laughable , but it would have been as deadly as any other Tyrannosaurus rex , and maybe even a slight faster and stealthier . ”

It ’s think that Qianzhousaurus subsist alongside deep - snouted tyrannosaurus , but they would n’t have been in direct contest with them because they were larger and likely hunted different prey .
