Dilophosaurus already posted that link in the "Recommended literature" thread. Anyway, I already started expanding the wiki article, using this paper as a source.

Well, then lets use this thread for discussion then. I think the paper has two flaws, and both are related to the phylogentic analysis: The inclusion of Raptorex and the use of Alioramus in the Phylogeography. The latter most likely is the juvenile of a Maastrichtian Tyrannosaurine (and we know that juveniles score much more basal 0than adults). Then, Alioramus is a juvenile, too, though we can discern it from other known species. But as it will not find its right place in the tree(it actually jumps around between different analyses), using it for the phylogeography is not a good idea. It also does not mention this: www.academia.edu/454834/On_the_earliest_record_of_Cretaceous_tyrannosauroids_in_western_North_America_implications_for_an_Early_Cretaceous_Laurasian_interchange_event(And there should be more material from cloverly....) Otherwise it is an excellent paper. |

Lythronax seems to be around 7 m in axial length and slightly over 2.1 m tall at hips, assuming scalebar isn't wrong.

By the way, is this a typo?Because the is no Table S8 in File S1 (maybe S6 is meant?).
