Um well my final story that I wanted to squeeze in actually has a lot of parallels.
We are wildly extrapolating from a bone that is even more ancient.
And this is a story in Discover magazine based on a paper in the Journal Biology.
So this is a footbone from a baby T Rex.
Right.
So we haven't actually had many baby T Rex fossils, but researchers again looking through some old collections.
They identified the first known fossils of like hatchling Tyrannosaurus Rex.
