Further evidence of North American tyrannosaurs having scales covering most of the body has been made public.  Enjoy discussing!

Tyrannosaurs probably had feathers on certain parts of the body and scales on others

Do we know what part of the body the scales were from?

@Sci-Fi King 25, it said that the imprints were from the neck, hip, and tail.  Here is the actual scientific paper: http://rsbl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/roybiolett/13/6/20170092.full.pdf
