Newfound T. rex relative was an even bigger apex predator, remarkable skull discovery suggests

The newly identified tyrannosaur species is the closest known relative of T. rex and could have been even larger than the famous dinosaur king.

Some evolutionists have decided that the dinosaur that is a relative to T. rex could have been even larger than the famous dinosaur king,

A new study shows that Tyrannosaurus mcraeensis, was identified from a partial fossilized skull that paleontologists unearthed in 1983 could have been a bigger relative of T rex.  

It was dated between, between 73 million and 71 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period (145 million to 66 million years ago).

Some scientists are not happy with the results and dinosaurs are not millions of years old.
