On September 17,2009 a group of scientists found a whole skeleton of Tyrannosaurus Rex. They have tested it for its strength and it was said to be that it was small than the t-rex about 100 times, but it was as strong. It was found that it was alive more than 100,000,000 years ago. So, they lived way before the tyrannosaurus. Telling scientists that this dinosaur might be the ancestor of the tyrannosaurus rex.


In conclusion, I think that this a huge step forward learning about the early dinosaurs. Especially about the tyrannosaurus rex. Also, This is a great way for the scientists to stude the early dinosaur age and the early tyrannosaurus rex.
