A fossil has revealed a new apex predator of the once-thought king of dinosaurs
Step aside, tyrannosaurs, there's a new king of the Mesozoic world.
Paleontologists in Uzbekistan Wednesday unearthed a 90-million-year-old rock containing the remains of a newly discovered dinosaur that is theorized to have once terrorized smaller species of tyrannosaurs: It's the 30-foot long carcharodontosaur named the Ulughbegsaurus uzbekistanensis.
The new dinosaur, identified by a singular upper jawbone and serrated teeth, was first revealed in Royal Society Open Science by University of Tsukba paleontologist Kohei Tanaka, University of Calgary paleontologist Darla Zelenitsky and their colleagues.
