that these are T rex bite marks.  What are their distinguishing
features, or am I getting ahead of myself before a paper is

  *Tyrannosaurus rex* is the only animal of a size known in the
Hell Creek which could have taken bites at these angles (from
above), and is the only animal bigger than *Ornithomimus* that
was predatory. *Torvosaurus* is a Jurassic animal.
