T.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...

Cool dinosaur. Comical looking or not, I'd rather not mess with it.

I 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.

Long snout means he doesn't have to reach as far to grab you ;)

Coo 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.

Maybe. 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.

It really has a distinct similarity towards Duebreillosaurus, but thats a spinosaur.

I like him. He is so cool looking, at least in my mind. Thanks for sharing.

REX FAN 684 - That is an incredibly fascinating animal! Excellent find. It almost reads like a massive Dromaeosaur of some sort; the elongated snout makes me think of Deinonychus to some extent. This extremely neat! Thank you for bringing this to us! :)

What an amazing creature and that long snout definatly gives more diversity to the Tyrant Lizards.

Very 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-

REX FAN 684 - Do you suppose this animal could have been an intermediary creature between one form of theropod to another? In what era do scientists specualte it thrived? :)

It 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

Actually 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.
