You would expect this to be a giant fossil of a T Rex. Instead, we have an 8 foot fossil in lenght. It is estimated that it could be a 5 or a 6 year old dinosaur. The body is nearly an adult, but not quite yet. This T Rex is a minature version of the larger size one.
It has the tiny arms, huge jaws and the legs built for speed that the T Rex had. They are calling it Raptorex kriegsteini. The type was named after the man that purchased the fossil from a sales person. His name is Henry Kriegstein. Henry is a collector of fossils. He has now handed it over to science to be studied.
The fossilized animal appears to have roamed the earth about 40 million years before the larger scale T Rex has been recorded as being alive.
