Meet 'the ocean version of T. rex'—apex predator Tylosaurus rex, ruler of Cretaceous seas. I spoke to paleontologist @tyrantlzrdqueen.bsky.social for @cnn.com about how she noticed something unusual about Texas fossils assigned to a known mosasaur & ended up describing a new species 🧪 #FossilFriday
This is why one should avoid using the abbreviation "T. rex" from here on out - 'cause now there are *two* of them. Welcome to science, Tylosaurus rex! (Take a back seat for once, tyrannosaurs.) #FossilFriday 🧪
T. rex vs. T. rex.
King in Black
A few weeks late but here’s a Tylosaurus rex life reconstruction . Huge congrats to @tyrantlzrdqueen.bsky.social and her team on publishing the work on the king of the seaway.

There's a new T. rex in town.
Not a dinosaur, but a mosasaur. Tylosaurus rex. About the same size as Tyrannosaurus rex. Top predator, but in the sea. Nasty bite. The terror of ancient Texas!

#FossilFriday I mostly draw mammals, but I've always been fascinated by marine reptiles. So after the new paper by
@tyrantlzrdqueen.bsky.social
et al announced a new species of #Tylosaurus, T. rex, I had to take a crack at a reconstruction! Fun to try something different..

There’s a newly crowned T. rex. This one, called Tylosaurus rex, was a tyrant of the sea and mosasaur spanning up to 43 feet in length.
Everything IS bigger in Texas...
Introducing TYLOSAURUS REX–“TEX”. A monster animal, a monster paper, & a monster project that I am *so* excited to finally share with everyone after ~5 yrs. Huge thanks to my coauthors, Mike & Ron, & to Alderon Games for bringing our lad to life!! #FossilFriday
