Very cool fossils in spite of the misleading article title (NOT your fault, the link got it wrong) about it being a Rex and a Triceratops.
Quoting: Spam Killer It was accurate: The dinosaurs have since been identified as Nanotyrannus lancensis, a close relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, and Chasmosaurine ceratopsian from the Triceratops family.Not blaming you- read further into the article, it is a RELATIVE of T Rex, not a Rex  The primary differences that some scientists have used to distinguish Nanotyrannus lancensis from Tyrannosaurus rex primarily concern the number of teeth. So it's the very same, with less teeth, but you think the article is misleading. Based on only 2 specimens, it would seem equally logical these are T-Rex infants, that have yet to grow their adult teeth.
