Allometric Growth in Tyrannosaurs Paper

[Darryl Jones <dinoguy@sympatico.ca>]

In the April issue of the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences:

Allometric growth in tyrannosaurids (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Upper 
Cretaceous of North America and Asia
Philip J. Currie

Like always, if you're Canadian, the paper's free.  Go from the table of

With my brief first look, he still thinks Nanotyrannus is most likely a 
distinct species, although this seems to be purely due to tooth count.  He 
does say that there is a possibility that it is a juvenile Tyrannosaurus.
