not "a murder of T. rex"

>>As an aside, I suspect we would call a group of young T. rex's a "murder".
>>As in "a murder of crows", but for a much better reason.

>No way!  It is hardly murder, they're just trying to get a meal.
>How about, "a dynasty of T. rex"?

Given the mental image conjured up in thinking about multiple
t-rexes stalking their prey, I would suggest a "terror" might
be a much better collective noun.  "A terror of tyrannosaurs..."
