Sinotyrannus

Sinotyrannus was much larger than contemporary early tyrannosauroids, apparently disproving the theory that they gradually increased in size throughout the Cretaceous from small basal forms to advanced apex predators. In fact, Sinotyrannus is nearly the size of Tyrannosaurus rex, reaching an estimated length of up to 10 m, and weighing around 2.5 t.

So I ended up busier yesterday than I thought I would be, so to make up for missing Day 6 here’s a much more finished piece to encompass Day 6 and 7 of Dinovember.

A speculative male Sinotyrannus kazuoensis with a casque like modern Hornbills, supported by the small crest as a boss. I have no clue how sound this is morphologically, I just think it looks cool.

Name: Sinotyrannus kazuoensis 

Name Meaning: Chinese Tyrant 

First Described: 2009

Described By: Ji et al. 

Classification: Dinosauria, Saurischia, Theropoda, Neotheropoda, Averostra, Tetanurae, Orionides, Avetheropoda, Coelurosauria, Tyrannoraptora, Tyrannosauroidea, Proceratosauridae 

Sinotyrannus was a large basal proceratosaur from the Jiufotang Formation of Liaoning, China. It was the largest theropod from the region, and lived in the Aptian age of the Early Cretaceous, about 120 million years ago. It was much larger than most other contemporary predators, about 10 meters long and 3 meters high, and had very few predatory rivals. More material will need to be found, however, before more can be said about this animal.
