Scientists at a leading US laboratory have used neutron beams and high-energy X-rays to produce the highest-resolution image of the interior of a fossilized tyrannosaurus skull yet.
Experts from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and paleontologists from the Museum of Natural History and Science in New Mexico delved deeper into the skull of a relative of the monstrous killer Tyrannosaurus rex, which lived millions of years ago in the northwest of the present state of New Mexico.
Scientists published the results of the scan, and as they stated, their work led to the discovery of new information about how predators evolved, reports N1.
The images show details of the dinosaur's brain and sinus cavity, the path of some nerves and blood vessels, as well as teeth that were formed but did not grow.
Fossil remains of a species that lived about 10 million years before the tyrannosaurus were found in 1996 in the American state of New Mexico.
