How to spell t rex

The name Tyrannosaurus rex comes from the Greek words tyranno (“tyrant”) and saurus (“lizard”) and the Latin word rex (“king”). So, Tyrannosaurus rex means something like “king of the tyrant lizards.” It is commonly called T. rex for short.

“Tyrannosaurus” is Greek for “tyrant lizard,” and “rex” means “king” in Latin.

Male Dinosaurs Had Bigger Crests and Frills

T. Rex is one of the few dinosaurs whose females asked (figuratively, of course), “Do my hips look big?” But lacking clear fossil evidence about relative hip size, paleontologists have no choice but to rely on secondary sexual characteristics.

Sir Richard Owen: The man who invented the dinosaur. The Victorian scientist who coined the word “dinosaur” has been honoured with a plaque at the school he attended as a child.

Basic Dinosaur Facts

Dinosaur fossils have been found on all seven continents. All non-avian dinosaurs went extinct about 66 million years ago. There are roughly 700 known species of extinct dinosaurs. Modern birds are a kind of dinosaur because they share a common ancestor with non-avian dinosaurs.

In an evolutionary sense, birds are a living group of dinosaurs because they descended from the common ancestor of all dinosaurs. Other than birds, however, there is no scientific evidence that any dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Apatosaurus, Stegosaurus, or Triceratops, are still alive.

Triceratops Was Last Dinosaur Standing

The Triceratops, described in the latest Royal Society Biology Letters, dates to 65 million years ago, the critical period of time associated with the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) extinction event that wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs and many other animals and plants.

A fossil unearthed in Australia by a volunteer digger has been identified as a rare, toothless dinosaur that roamed the country 110 million years ago. The elaphrosaur, whose name means “light-footed lizard”, was related to the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor.
