The fossil, estimated to belong to a new species of dinosaur about 8 meters long, was uncovered during a joint survey in October 2014. This discovery is expected to accelerate research into the distribution and classification of carnivorous dinosaurs in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period. The fossil will be displayed at the newly renovated &#8220;Goshoura Dinosaur Island Museum&#8221; in Amakusa, opening March 20, with a replica also to be shown at the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/goshouramuseum.jp\/20240215836?fbclid=IwAR0NiHhwHePvgKJuhYR-ba1y2vGZQsFtKnehllZPUkgioEIBj98Hnea6o6E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goshoura Cretaceous Museum<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_160087\" style=\"width: 998px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-160087\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_amakusa-tyrannosaurus_2024_cl.jpg?resize=988%2C656&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"988\" height=\"656\" class=\"size-full wp-image-160087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_amakusa-tyrannosaurus_2024_cl.jpg?w=988&amp;ssl=1 988w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_amakusa-tyrannosaurus_2024_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_amakusa-tyrannosaurus_2024_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C510&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-160087\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>\uff08c\uff09\u5929\u8349\u5e02\u7acb\u5fa1\u6240\u6d66\u767d\u4e9c\u7d00\u8cc7\u6599\u9928\u30fb\u798f\u4e95\u770c\u7acb\u6050\u7adc\u535a\u7269\u9928<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
