NEW TYRANNOSAURUS Species!

A new Tyrannosaurus species was found in the Hall Lake formation in New Mexico, dating back to the Campanian/Maastrichtian. Using uranium to lead isotope analysis, researchers determined that the fossil is 73.2 million years old, plus or minus a mere 700,000 years. This makes the dinosaur about 6-7 million years older than Tyrannosaurus rex.
