Paleovember 2023, Tarbosaurus!

Famous for being the sister species to Tyrannosaurus rex, Tarbosaurus bataar is often easily written off as being the Mongolian T-rex. The reality is that Tarbosaurus was quite different; besides being slightly smaller, it was also slimmer, with a narrower back portion of the skull, meaning it's vision was less directly binocular. This is due to the animals it hunted being different from those found in North America; whereas Tyrannosaurus went after hadrosaurs and ceratopsians, Tarbosaurus went after hadrosaurs and SAUROPODS, the latter apparently not needing as much binocular vision.

Since the Prehistoric Planet S2 teaser dropped I think it's time to repost my ideas for the coming season.

"Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) returned an impressive collection of dinosaur fossils to Mongolia’s Ambassador to the United States, Batbayar Ulziidelger, at a ceremony at the Library of Congress on Aug. 3. The fossils were recovered through HSI investigations conducted by our offices in Arizona, New York, and Wyoming, and the collection was represented by a tyrannosaurus bataar skull, protoceratops fossil, alioramus skull, and saurolophus skull. The alioramus, which resembles a smaller version of a tyrannosaurus rex, is exclusively found in Mongolia – the source of many, extremely rare fossils. The specimen on display at the ceremony is considered one of the best-preserved fossils ever found of the dinosaur that lived approximately 70 million years ago.

“Today’s event is dedicated to acknowledge the solid contributions of the officers and special agents from Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. attorneys, judges, scientists, and all individuals present here at ceremony as well as those who are absent due to their duty, who made this day possible,” said Ambassador of Mongolia Batbayar Ulziidelger. “This ceremony is a testament to the strong partnership between the Government of Mongolia and the Unites States and we are fortunate to witness the first-ever public display of these Mongolian dinosaur fossils.” “We have gathered here to witness the return of dinosaur fossils from the United States to their homeland – Mongolia; these fossils, once lost to time and distance, now find their way back to the land, where they were first discovered,” said Minister for Foreign Affairs of Mongolia Battsetseg Batmunkh. “The remarkable journey of these artifacts demonstrates the strength of collaborative diplomacy and a solid dedication to preserving our cultural heritage. I am delighted to acknowledge the valuable contributions of law enforcement officers and special agents, agencies, attorneys, judges… our collective efforts demonstrated the potential to effectively fight illegal smuggling, both bilaterally and multilaterally.” The first of these cases began in May 2012 when HSI New York initiated a cultural property investigation after receiving information alleging the illicit sale of protected fossils by a U.S.-based auction house. The investigation revealed that an individual, who later pled guilty to criminal counts of illegal importation of dinosaur fossils, was selling a fossilized alioramus skull through the auction house; that skull is part of the collection being returned. That same year, HSI Casper, Wyoming office received an HSI Tip Line report that a retail store was selling a fossilized tyrannosaurus bataar skull. HSI Casper began its investigation relating to the illegal importation and subsequent sale of dinosaur fossils originating from Mongolia, which has strong patrimony laws that prohibit the export of prehistoric fossils. These investigations led to multiple seizures of a wide range of paleontological fossils illegally taken from their country, including:a rare juvenile tyrannosaurus battar skull; a fossilized gallimimus skeleton; a tarbosaurus bataar skeleton; nests of dinosaur eggs; a saber-toothed cat skull; a complete psittacosaurus skeleton; and a protoceratops skull. Some of these dinosaurs lived more than 100 million years ago in an area now known as the Gobi Desert."

Obsessed with the absolute mollycoddle of a good time Tarbosaurus has of it in Prehistoric Planet. Their adventures include finding a free sauropod carcass, taking naps in the Sun, everyone kindly parting for them when they go for a drink, and another delicious sauropod just fucking tripping and dying by their mere presence alone. They expend by far the least amount of effort of anyone involved in the canyon scene and the closest thing to hardship they ever experience is being woken from a nap by a Velociraptor getting a little too bold, and even that almost nets them a snack.

Tarbosaurus

Tarbosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid dinosaur that flourished in Asia at the end of the Late Cretaceous Period. Fossils have been recovered in Mongolia and China. Some experts see this species as an Asian representative of the North American genus Tyrannosaurus. If not synonymous, the two are considered to be at least closely related genera. Like most known tyrannosaurids, Tarbosaurus was a large bipedal predator, measuring approximately 10 m in length, and up to 5 t in body mass. It had a unique locking mechanism in its jaw, equipped with about sixty large teeth, and the smallest forelimbs relative to body size of all tyrannosaurids.
