New Discovery in Japan!

I thought of tyrannosaurids as a North American group of dinosaurs, with the exception of Tarbosaurus (and not counting the ancestors as Guanlong or dilong). Indeed a fantastic discovery!

SCI-FI KING25 - Wow! That is fantastic! I have a feeling that the 10m "height" is supposed to be "length" as Mr. Miyata compared it to the 5-12m expressions found amongst American Tyrannosaurids. Can you imagine a 33ft tall Tyrannosaurus?! YIKES! This was a very neat find! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! :)

Cool.

And Shambs, there are actually a lot of Asian tyrannosaurs...

Tarbosaurus

Alioramus

Zhuchengtyrannus

Guanlong

Dilong

Yutyrannus

Sinotyrannus

Probably others I forgot

And they've also been found in Europe(Eotyrannus)

Tyrannosaurus practically rulled the whole Northern Hempisphere

^ Daspletosaurus 

Daspletosaurus was North American

Who knows it could have swam the oceans, breathed fire, had spines on it's back, and reeked havok on everything. ;) ;)

If it's a new genus, I wonder what they will name it. Nihonotyrannus or Nipponotyranus maybe? 

oh yeah I guess confused it with something else 

@Rex,

Yes, you are right. In addition, according to Wikipedia (which is not an entirely reliable source) tyrannosaurs existed in South America and Australia. Is that true?

"Fossils of tyrannosauroids have been recovered on what are now the continents of North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Australia."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrannosauroidea

Although I think that this article is about Tyrannosauroidea superfamily, and not about Tyrannosauridae family.

SHAMBS: The statement about tyrannosauroid fossil finds refers to the Superfamily as a whole rather than just Tyrannosauridae (Tyrannosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Gorgosaurus, etc.). It takes in account Proceratosauridae, Coeluridae, and several other members that don't fall into the aforementioned families. Though the only members that come from South America and Australia are members of Megaraptora, which has a disputed ancestry, so they might not be tyrannosaurs at all. 

Cool find.

Well that's enough for me to infer that Tyrannosaurs were pretty widely ditributed :D

Awesome! The more giant carnivores the better.

See but over has to remember that the largest of the Asian Tyrannosaurs (that being Tarbosaurus) is comparable in size to Abelisaurus. Such an animal only stands at about six feet tall, kind of retaining a reverse therapod posture. If this animal is indeed it's own species, it's gonna be in a league of it's own
