Here is the question:
Its about dinosaur grouping.As all of us know there
are many dinosaur familys like tyrannosauridae, spinosauridae, dromeosauridae
and many others.My question is why is a family named after one individual from
many others of its family.For example, why couldent the family tyrannosauridae
be named daspletosauridae, daspletosaurus is from tyrannosauridae, so why was
T-rex chosen to represent the family? I know that the characteristics of the
T-rex resemble those to others of its group, but dont the characteristics of
daspletosaurus resemble those of T-rex.
I am very confused could someone explain this
to me?
Thanks for your atention!
