Ancient Tyrannosaur Fossil Unveils Perfectly Preserved Stomach Contents
A 75-million-year-old fossil of a juvenile Gorgosaurus has been discovered with its stomach contents intact, making it the first-ever Tyrannosaur found with preserved stomach contents. The fossil reveals that the picky eater consumed the legs of two small feathered dinosaurs, likely a popular menu item at the time. The finding sheds light on the dietary habits of juvenile Tyrannosaurs and suggests that their diets changed as they grew older, allowing them to occupy different ecological niches and become successful predators.
