Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
T. D. Carr and T. E. Williamson 2010Tyrannosauroid characterized by numerous cranial autapomorphies, including a forked palatal process of the premaxilla (Fig. 3A), supernumerary frontal processes of the nasal (Fig. 3B), lanceolate medial frontal processes of the nasal, a pneumatic foramen that pierces the supraorbital ramus of the lacrimal (Figs. 1, 2), a peaked sagittal crest (Figs. 1, 2), a dorsotemporal fossa that extends onto the lateral surface of the squamosal, a short prefrontal (Fig. 3B), a single pneumatic foramen in the palatine (Fig. 3C), a medial ridge on the angular for insertion into the surangular (Fig. 3D), a ventrolateral keel along the caudoventral margin of the mandible formed by the angular and prearticular (Fig. 3E), and a tall flange extending from the ventral margin of the rostral mylohyoid foramen of the splenial (Fig. 3F).
