Nanotyrannus is a small, fast-moving tyrannosaur from the Late Cretaceous, found in the Lance Formation and Hell Creek Formation. Estimated to reach about 20 feet long, it had a slender build, a narrow skull, and more teeth than T. rex. Some paleontologists believe it’s a distinct species, while others argue it’s simply a juvenile T. rex—making it one of the most hotly debated dinosaurs in paleontology.
