RE: Tyrannosaur predation strategy
On the subject of tyrannosaur predation, Tom Holtz wrote:"Okay, among other
things (and in brief):
*Deeply rooted lateral teeth
*Incrassate rather than ziphodont tooth proportions
*Broader snout, and broader occipital region
*Possibly even fused nasals...
and, in terms of trace fossils:
*Bite marks and crushed bone
*The tyrant turd"
Forgive me if I'm being dim, but surely these things only provide
information on how they processed their prey, not necessarily on how they
acquired it?
