MemberCompsognathusMay-07-2014 4:39 PMT.rex has just gotten a new cousin. It's an enormous 9 meters long(although not full grown, so let's say 10 meters) killer. The thing that really sets it apart is it's long snout. You can read more about it here...

MemberTyrannosaurus RexMay-07-2014 4:47 PMCool dinosaur. Comical looking or not, I'd rather not mess with it.

MemberCompsognathusMay-07-2014 4:54 PMI don't think many things would, haha. Really shows how varied the tyrannosaurs, a group of dinosaurs that are often thought of "plain looking" by many people were actually quite unique and different looking.

MemberTriceratopsMay-07-2014 5:31 PMCoo find.
Maybe it occupied the same niche as Nanotyrannus did (if Nanotyrannus is a true genus) in North America, where it was living in the shadows of Tarbosaurus and Zhuchengtyrannus, but was still a wicked killer.

MemberCompsognathusMay-07-2014 5:47 PMMaybe. It seems to have been between giants like Tarbosaurus and smaller carnivores like raptors and Alioramus. I could see this guy being a pack hunter too.

MemberCompsognathusMay-07-2014 6:00 PMIndeed Smaug, indeed...
FACT DUDE
MemberCompsognathusMay-07-2014 6:45 PMIt really has a distinct similarity towards Duebreillosaurus, but thats a spinosaur.

MemberCompsognathusMay-08-2014 6:31 AMVery interesting indeed. There've been a lot of interesting new Tyrannosaur finds in the last time. We got Zhuchengtyrannus, Nanuqsaurus and now, Quianzhousaurus.
Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe in. -Brom-

MemberCompsognathusMay-08-2014 8:07 PMIt lived in the early cretacious of China, with the likes of Zhuchengtyrannus, Tarbosaurus, and Alioramus. After reviewing some stuff....i think it's just an adult Alioramus. The resemblance is pretty uncanny.
Random thought: Tyrannosaurs pretty much dominated Early Cretacious Asia...some food for thought right there.
Interesting find...interesting find indeed

MemberCompsognathusMay-10-2014 10:20 AMActually Carnosaur, this guy was found in rock dating back to 66 million years ago. Tarbosaurus, Alioramus, and Z-Tyrannus all lived about 80 million years ago during the Mid-Late Cretaceous. So actually this animal is not an adult Alioramus as it lived some 14 million years after it. The snout just shows it was related to it. Plus it doesn't have the horny bumps on it's snout like Alioramus did.
