Thanatotheristes is the oldest tyrannosaurid dinosaur ever found in Canada.2

Its name comes from the Greek god Thanatos, meaning death, and theristes, meaning harvester.1

The only known fossil is a partial skull from a large subadult, about 80 centimeters long.2

It had a very rough, bumpy surface on its upper jaw bone, which may have been for display.2

Thanatotheristes is a close relative of Daspletosaurus, and together they form a group called Daspletosaurini.1

It lived alongside other dinosaurs like the horned Xenoceratops and the dome-headed Colepiocephale.1

Thanatotheristes lived about 80.1 to 79.5 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period. It is the oldest tyrannosaur known from Canada.1 4

?Where was Thanatotheristes found?

Thanatotheristes fossils were found in the Foremost Formation of Alberta, Canada. The bones were discovered along the Bow River near the town of Hays.1 5

?Why is it called Thanatotheristes?

Thanatotheristes means 'reaper of death' or 'death harvester' in Greek. It was named that because it was the top predator in its ecosystem.1 4
