Tyrannosaurs

Daspletosaurus and Tyrannosaurus? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.176.114.76 (talk) 00:24, 20 November 2013 (UTC) I re-checked the reference on Daspletasaurus and tracked down a new reference for Tyrannosaurus, everything checks out. 01:48, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly one or both of these is misclassified. Daspletosaurus is so over lumped it's basically a form taxon at this point... MMartyniuk (talk) 17:42, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It could be, but I only did skimmed to confirm that each genus was actually mentioned as being found in the javelina. Ryan shell (talk) 23:45, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Probably some random tyrannosaur fragments put in Daspletosaurus for some reason.142.176.114.76 (talk) 22:34, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
