Nanotyrannus, meaning 'dwarf tyrant,' is a fascinating genus of tyrannosaurid dinosaur, likely representing a juvenile Tyrannosaurus. Existing between 72.1 and 66 million years ago, it is identified by its small skull and notable differences from adult T. rex, including a greater number of teeth—14-15 per side in the upper jaw and 16 in the lower—compared to T. rex’s 11-12 and 11-14, respectively, along with fused bones. These formidable hunters worked in pairs or packs to take down large prey like ceratopsians and hadrosaurs, making this fossil tooth a remarkable piece of prehistoric history.
