Summary

Description

Daspletosaurus torosus restoration,

• Based proportionally on a Gregory Paul skeletal reconstruction in Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Tyrant King by Peter Larson and Kenneth Carpenter (2008).[1]
• A few Skin impressions are known for tyrannosaurids which show lightly Pebbled (scaley) skin. The scales are small, averaging 2.4mm.[2] Skin impressions from the closley related Gorgosaurus are reported to show both smooth, naked skin and scales.[3][4]
However, most coelurosaur fossils show feathers covering thier bodies and the smaller basal tyrannosauriod Dilong and the larger tyrannosauroid Yutyrannus also show feathers. This raises the probability that, derived tyrannosaurs had a mix of feathers and scales on different parts of the body or that feathers were lost as individuals reach maturity[5][6]
• The muscles are based on a diagram by Scott Hartman [1] with some details from[7].
• The colours and patterns, as with nearly all reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.
