The fragments of a fossilized skull belonging to a previously unknown species of tyrannosaur were found in southern Alberta, Canada. And it's all thanks to John De Groot, a farmer and palaeontology enthusiast who found the fossil, according to a release from the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta, where the fossils will be displayed later this year.This is the first new tyrannosaur found in Canada in 50 years and one of the oldest tyrannosaur species found in North America.
"Thanatotheristes can be distinguished from all other tyrannosaurs by numerous characteristics of the skull, but the most prominent are vertical ridges that run the length of the upper jaw," said Jared Voris, lead study author and a University of Calgary PhD candidate.John De Groot holds the fossil he discovered.A wealth of dinosaur fossils have been uncovered in Canada, specifically Alberta, over the years.
