project: DINOSAURIA
specimen 099

TYRANNOSAURUS REX
"King Tyrant Lizard"
Osborn, 1905
Length: 12.3m (40ft)
Weight: 7.2 tonnes (7.9 tons)
Location: Wyoming, USA
Era: Maastrichtian age, upper Cretaceous (65 million years ago)

Classification:
Dinosauria
Saurischia
Theropoda
Tetanurae

Despite how well known its tiny arms are, the arms of Tyrannosaurus were not actually discovered until 1989--prior to that depictions of its arms relied on comparisons to its close relatives for whom arms were known, such as Gorgosaurus.

Manospondylus Cope, 1892
Dynamosaurus Osborn, 1905
Nanotyrannus Bakker, Williams & Currie, 1988
Stygivenator Olshevsky, 1995

Personally, I draw tyrannosaurs with more feathers than this, but this looks absolutely awesome.

I am not usually a fan of the larger Tyrannosaurs being depicted with feathers, but I absolutely love this design :D

I'm sure everyone else has noticed that the last few dinosaurs have been in ascending order of popularity... Is Deinonychus next?

i'm not sure it's possible to ascend in popularity from t.rex.

just a few more days now and number one-hundred will be revealed, a hint at the next step in the project: dinosauria process.
