User:DeinonychusDinosaur999/Classification
I have a different form of classification than some, you see I'm a "lumper" among taxonomy, a "lumper" is someone who compares one species very broadly to another. So, my conclusions may turn out different from others, here are some, below, just to name a few.
Tyrannosaurus bataar edit
Most have gone by the obsolete term of Tarbosaurus for this taxa, but it only differs from Tyrannosaurus rex in minute characteristics. These include the skull and some other parts. Its skull is a little more narrower that that of T. rex, but other than that they are pretty much identical. Although, these distinctions are large enough to seperate it from the subgenus Tyrannosaurus, forming its own subgenus clade, Tarbosaurus.
Classification
Family: Tyrannosauridae
Subfamily: Tyrannosaurinae
Tribe: Tyrannosaurini
Genus: Tyrannosaurus
Subgenus: Tarbosaurus
Daspletosaurus torosus vs. Tyrannosaurus torosus edit
I have also, sometimes, synonymized Daspletosaurus with Tyrannosaurus. They share a number of many characters but they should be seperated, due to its lighter built skull, larger fenestrae, oval sized eye socket and triangular horn above the head. It kind of looks more like Allosaurus to me, than T. rex, because of its rectangular-shaped head. I used to synomize these two genera but now I know it is obsolete. Although I still wonder if they could be more similar than some may think.
Classification
Family: Tyrannosauridae
Subfamily: Tyrannosaurinae
Tribe: Tyrannosaurini
Genus: Daspletosaurus/Tyrannosaurus
Subgenus: Daspletosaurus/Daspletosaurus (confusing, isn't it)
