tyrannosaurid

noun

1. Any dinosaur in the family Tyrannosauridae.

   “Similarly, the North American tyrannosaurid, Aublysodon, is reported from east Asia.”

   “Once again, Phil Currie says it definitely was a tyrannosaurid, most closely related, by braincase comparison, to Tarbosaurus. Chingkankousaurus fragilis was named by C. C. Yang in China in 1958.”

   “Most famous for the last and largest member of the clade, Tyrannosaurus rex, tyrannosaurids at first glance seem very far removed from the ostrichlike ornithomimosaurs.”
