Dinos Died Here

What’s worse than meeting up with a live Tyrannosaur?  Meeting up with an entire pack of them, for sure!

But did they really travel in groups?  Or was there room for only one Rex of the Jungle?

Paleontological discoveries indicate that these dinosaurs did indeed hang together.  Three “mass Tyrannosaur grave” sites have already been found in North America. 

Scientists are currently analyzing the contents of a southern Utah site, first discovered by Alan Titus in 2014.  Diverse Teratophoneus fossils were buried there within the silt of a prehistoric river bank, hinting at a mass drowning of more than 76 million years ago.
