Fossils of a new tyrannosaur have been found in Utah that proves that Tyrannosaurus rex-type dinosaurs were around ten million years earlier than previously thought.

According to Fox News:

SALT LAKE CITY –  A new dinosaur has been discovered in southern Utah that proves giant tyrant dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus rex were around 10 million years earlier than previously believed. 

The fossils were unveiled Wednesday at the Natural History Museum of Utah. 

Paleontologists believe the dinosaur lived up to 95 million years ago in the late Cretaceous Period on a landmass in the flooded central region of North America. The fossils were found in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Scientists are calling this new dinosaur "a great-uncle" of  the Tyrannosaurus rex.
