The Aussie Tyrant – Additional Remarks

In my last post, I talked about the possibility of an Australian tyrannosauroid [1]. I even touched on one of the issues that often plagues zoology, and that’s biogeography. This philosophy, often with good reason, tends to hold that species or identifications can be made on the basis of where they are found, or that identifications can be excluded. Usually due to the fact that a particular group or taxon is present, or that there are no close relatives found nearby, one may demonstrate a likelihood between 0-100% of saying “Taxon X is found here.”
