While this *finally* settles the question of Nanotyrannus' existence, it now raises a ton of interesting new questions. Which of the small tyrant specimens we have are Nanotyrannus, and which (if any!) really are young T.rex? What holes does this blow in our assumptions about T.rex biology?

The problem with Nanotyrannus is that the remains people argue over aren't mature animals, leading many researchers to conclude they're just young T.rex (even if that idea also presented some sticky problems.) To finally settle it, folks said, you'd need to find a Nanotyrannus adult.
They did.
They did.
