Nanotyrannus is a Valid Genus!

- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- A scientific paper has just been published that suggests that Nanotyrannus lancensis is a valid genus and the fossils are not juvenile examples of T. rex.
Here is a link to our blog post that provides more information as well as details of the scientific paper: bit.ly/3NNWqb2

Nanotyrannus eating Baby Triceratops.
Thanks for your input.
I already see people doubting this new paper, either out of bias, or real issues with the paper, but I'm happy someone stuck up for Nanotyrannus.
The paper looks at several lines of evidence and had the benefit of examining a juvenile T. rex frontal bone. Science moves on and maybe more evidence will be uncovered. Thanks for your input.
I'm not particularly swayed from it, but there's still a chance, even if it's a smaller and less likely one.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy I'm honestly surprised the idea of Nanotyrannus being a juvenile Tyrannosaurus wasn't challenged earlier. It is based on very little.
@HenrythePaleoGuy
At least this is better than the newest paper that Gregory S Paul made, re-doubling his efforts in having tyrannosaurus split into three separate species; this time he’s using the variations of post-orbital bosses as proof of differentiation in species.
OH YES!!! Nanotyrannus is a valid genus! Its distinct, and a relative of T-Rex! Thank you unknown paleontologists or unknown dinosaur expert!
Thank you for your comment.
@@EverythingdinosaurdotcomYou are welcome!
Tyrannosaurus would never have any long arms, since in January 2024, These Nanotyrannus specimens were NEARLY adults, and thanks to enough evidence, Nanotyrannus is resurrected!
@@thejoker15678 Thank you for your contribution.
Here’s a fun theory
Instead of Nanotyrannus never existing and actually being juvenile T-rexes, what if…the T-Rex never existed and all fossils associated to the species actually belonged to other tyrannosaurid genera including Nanotyrannus, making Nanotyrannus real all along?
Interesting idea, I like the way you have flipped things around.
Happy New Year 🕛🎊🎉😊
Thank you, Happy New Year to you too.
I'm still somewhat skeptical about this, although I do believe that there is still a decent chance that Nanotyrannus is its own genus.
Thanks for your input, we suspect that this debate will continue for some time.
Well I can sleep well tonight!
For Now ....
Yes, until the next paper...
No, it's not
already this has been refuted by at least six major paleontologists - so, calm down, and don't post nonsense like this until the dust settles
It's not nonsense, just not consensus, and for many good reasons that haven't been thoroughly disproved yet.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy it's NONSENSE right now because you didn't wait and see what the majority scholarly opinion is going to be - you just hopped on to the latest/greatest - that's not the scientific way - you can afford to wait
What's nonsense is that Nanotyrannus was ever even considered a juvenile of Tyrannosaurus.
I my gosh did i miss something?????
The paper was published earlier this year, it reviewed the taxonomic validity of this taxon, our blog post from January 3rd sums up the research: blog.everythingdinosaur.com/blog/_archives/2024/01/03/nanotyrannus-is-a-valid-taxon.html
It is great to see such a lively debate. The media release was embargoed until 12.01am (GMT) on the third of January, hence after this date news outlets and other interested parties such as ourselves could publish the press release, images and produce supplementary material. Papers such as this one, encourage vigorous debate and permit differing views to be aired. We are aware of the comments from several distinguished vertebrate palaeontologists such as David Hone, Thomas Carr and Thomas Holtz. Given the nature of the study it was always going to facilitate extensive discussion. At the heart of this issue is the lack of fossil specimens to examine, specifically adult Nanotyrannus specimens, especially cranial material and/or teenage T. rex specimens. Hopefully, this paper will encourage other scientists to re-examine specimens, review tyrannosaur ontogeny and engage in field work with the explicit aim of adding to this debate.
The overriding issue, one that is acknowledged by Nanotyrannus supporters as well as those who remain sceptical is that it is unusual to have one genus (Tyrannosaurus) as the only large predator within the ecosystem. We look forward to publishing further information on this fascinating subject area in the future, once of course we have the permission of the research bodies, museums and universities.
Thank you to everyone for their input. Rest assured we will continue to post up information about tyrannosaur research on the Everything Dinosaur blog.
On another video pete larson showed the host a nanotyrannus hand specimen that was bigger than the same hands of t rex and claimed that this wasn't a young t rex at all...also the dueling dinosaurs specimens which includes nanotyrannus had the same features...but still the debate will continue...
