Retired quarryman uncovers fossilized tyrannosaur teeth

For the first time, razor sharp teeth of tyrannosaurs were found in the Bexhill-on-Sea region of coastal East Sussex, England. These teeth indicate that a bevy of carnivorous dinosaurs including tyrannosaurs, spinosaurs, and members of the Velociraptor family stalked this region about 135 million years ago. The findings are detailed in a study published December 5 in the journal Papers in Palaeontology. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday.
