Re: Nanotyrannus (?) fighting ceratopsian specimens videos
I must caution that Peter L has data that seriously contradicts the
nanotyrannos being juveniles of Tyrannosaurus that I will not discuss because
it is
not my business to do so. Same for the ceratopsid. Best to wait and see how
things pan out.

that he's found another small tyrannosaurid, and because it is small,
it must be "Nanotyrannus." >>
