(This is all from memory, so some of the spelling might be off)

Tyrannosauridae (= Deinodontidae)

Tyrannosaurus rex Osborn 1905           late Maastrichtian, western North
America

America
        (?= subadult T. rex?)

        (?= Deinodon horridus?)

        (?= Deinodon horridus?)
Aublysodon mirandus Leidy 1868          late Campanian, western North America
