There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Incredible how few bones we know of some specimens, but still very interesting. This was a Tyrannosauroid in the east of North America, completelley separated from those from the west, check this map:

Other Tyrannosauroid from Appalachia is no other than the Appalachiosaurus montgomeriensis, check these reconstructions, the first from GetAwayTrike, the second is copy-past from Thomas Carr:

Interesting how the evolution produced these long and slender predators in North America in the east side, from the same branch that gived origin to the more stockier Tyrannts from the West.
Regarding the Appalachiosaurus, that was just a juvenile specimen, I believe the adults would match Tyrannosaurus rex in size.
