    T-rex had the best nose of all dinos

    Bit of a broad statement there. We will probably never come close to knowing half of all species of dinos that existed.

    They probably should have inserted the word 'known' there ;)

    Although it would be reasonable to bet that Tyrannosaurus had the best sense of smell for any dinosaur since the meat eaters generally have better olfactorys than the plant eaters. T. rex represents the pinnacle and final stage of (giant) theropod evolution and is the most advanced of it's kind.
    Although it is possible that an earlier dinosaur may have had a better sense of smell the odds are stacked against it. For the time being we should probably let T.rex hold that title.

    Good point, (I'm a noob really :P)

    I suppose as a (probable) carrion eater a good sense of smell would be paramount to its survival.
