Description New work. In this time - a tyrannosauroid. This is Timurlengia euotica from the Turonian (late Cretaceous) of Uzbekistan. Named in honor of the conqueror Timur-Leng, this predator had developed senses. The volume of the brain of this tyrannosaur was big enough that it is very important for an active predator. Apparently "Timur's tyrannosaur" reached a length of about 4 meters, then there was the size of a horse. Although most of the skeleton is missing, it is assumed that it was swift and a successful predator. It is visible on my drawing. This Timurlengia killed a young dinosaur, possibly a primitive hadrosaur. Look at her "bird's" eye of the fierce hunter, sharp teeth and the tongue with sharp spikes for better grip of the victim.

Where did you read that it refers to Megaraptora? This is most likely sister taxon for Xiongguanlong, together they can provide clade of long-muzzled tyrannosauroideans.

Thanks!

No prob 
Well...this dino is from the late cretaceous(90ma) and has caracteristics similar to megaraptorans.
That is my teory...

Nice!
Unlike his namesake, I take it that this thing could probably walk.....

Weird... I never noticed the skeletal released with the paper has three fingers untill I saw your work...

Nice colour patterns as usual

Given the fragmentary nature of the bones, number of fingers on the hands remains unknown.

Thank you!
