    First Palaeontology news of 2010 :)

    And another result for long forgotten museum specimens. After a fresh analysis of Proceratosaurus, it turns out to be the earliest known ancestor of the family Tyrannosauridae (of Tyrannosaurus rex fame)
    A long forgotten fossil skull in the collections of the Natural History Museum in London has now provided crucial clues to the early stages of the lengthy evolutionary history of these fearsome predators. Almost a century after its discovery, the specimen, named Proceratosaurus, has now been recognized as the oldest known relative of the Tyrannosauridae.
