Tyrannasorus Rex Database Info
DESCRIPTION
Tyrannasorus rex was a species of beetle that lived during the Miocene epoch. It was a small, flightless insect with a distinctive appearance. Its most striking feature was its large, bulbous head, which gave it its name, inspired by the famous dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex. This unusual head shape was likely an adaptation for feeding on specific types of plant material.
DISCOVERY
Tyrannasorus rex was first discovered in the Dominican Republic, preserved in amber. The amber provided a unique snapshot of the beetle's anatomy and allowed scientists to study its features in detail. The discovery of this unique insect has shed light on the diversity of life during the Miocene epoch and the evolution of beetles.
