Description
1-Nome: Unnamed Taxon
2-Formation: Lower Aguja Formation 77 Million years ago
3-Length and height: 7.5 and 2.5 meters
4-Weight: 1850 Kg
5-Diet: Apex predator, hunting most herbivores in the area.
6-Classification: Tyrannosauroidae ==> Neotyrannosauria ==> Tyrannosauroidae ==> Tyrannosauridae ==> Tyrannosaurinae ==> Bistahieversorini*
WTF I'm calling Bistahieversorini, Bistahieversor seams to be the most homoplastic Tyrannosaurid with things pointing it as a Tyrannosaurine and others Albertosaurine and that's why it many times is found as sister to Tyrannosauridae (Alberto + Rex). I'm putting they inside Tyrannosaurinae based on one point on the journal about Tyrannosaurid skin made by 105697 (Skin Deep ) that albertosaurine skin wasn't so efficient at keeping moisture and that would be prejudicial at the drier to swampy environments of Southern USA.
This tribe I'm "naming" here contains 3 taxon, Bistahieversor based on the text above, and 2 other unnamed taxon refereed to Albrtosaurinae this one here from Souther USA and another one from Mexico.
References: 105697 journal Skin Deep + GetAwayTrike Destroyers for the skull + GSP Albertosaurus for the body.
Thanks to the people in the Theropoda discord that helped me on this one

RIP wahweap, aguja and kaiparowitz formations you will be missed.
(Trump has decided to pass a bill to close them from research in favour of fossil fuel extraction)

That guy...
And we know so little about those 3 formations, especially Wahweap, now we only have to hope they don't destroy everything.

I do realize that if they are opened up for exploitation, discovery rates will increase because they drill into the ground.
Unfortunately much of the discovered material would be destroyed by it though.

I just think they will destroy the fossils.
Same thing that happens in Northwest Brazil, where miners destroy the fossils because if paleontologists found out they exist they will stop the extracting process and delay their money so they simply destroy them.

Nice. Probably resembles Teratophoneus, IMO.

Probably but Teratophoneus material comes from a juvenile so I choose to go with a more Lytronax look cause the last one is specimen is an adult.
