Hi there,

Tyrannomimus fukuiensis, ティラノミムス, the newly discovered dinosaur from Japan

This took like, five days, mostly because I was travelling.

Tyrannomimus fukuiensis Hattori et al., 2023 (new genus and species)

(Schematic skeletal of Tyrannomimus fukuiensis showing preserved bones, from Hattori et al., 2023)

Meaning of name: Tyrannomimus = tyrant mimic [in Greek, referring to the similarity of its hip bones to those of tyrannosauroid theropods]; fukuiensis = from Fukui

Age: Early Cretaceous (Aptian)

Where found: Kitadani Formation, Fukui, Japan

How much is known: Two partial skeletons and many isolated bones including parts of the skull, vertebrae, and limbs. It is unknown which of these bones belonged to the same individuals, but multiple individuals are represented.

Notes: Tyrannomimus was an ornithomimosaur, a group of superficially ostrich-like theropods. It is the first ornithomimosaur to be named from Japan, and may have been closely related to the bizarre, giant Deinocheirus from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia, though it was much smaller.

Intriguingly, Tyrannomimus also exhibits similarities to another theropod, Aviatyrannis, the type specimen of which is a partial hip from the Late Jurassic of Portugal. Aviatyrannis has traditionally been considered a possible tyrannosauroid, but the resemblance to Tyrannomimus raises the possibility that it may instead have been an ornithomimosaur, in which case it would be the oldest known member of this group.

New theropod dinosaur from the Lower Cretaceous of Japan provides critical implications for the early evolution of ornithomimosaurs

Published 7th September 2023

A new early ornithomimosaur provides insights into the early evolution of its group, Tyrannomimus fukuiensis, is based on partial cranial and post cranial material belonging to multiple individuals found in the Kitadani Dinosaur Quarry, Fukui, Japan.

Scoperta in Giappone una nuova specie di dinosauro simile allo struzzo

Tyrannomimus fukuiensis. I paleontologi della Fukui Prefectural University e del Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum hanno aggiunto un’altra specie di dinosauro teropode al catalogo preistorico. La specie appena scoperta è vissuta nell’attuale Giappone durante l’età aptiale del primo Cretaceo, tra 121 e 113 milioni di anni fa. Soprannominata Tyrannomimus fukuiensis, la specie appartiene alla…
