Bite marks attributable to Tyrannosaurus rex: preliminary description and implications Author Erickson, Gregory M. Author Kenneth H. Olson text Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology 1996 1996-03-19 16 1 175 178 journal article 10.1080/02724634.1996.10011297 af6c2517-d7b6-406e-8753-08921e71e59f 3732430 An additional specimen, a proximal pedal phalanx of Edmontosaurus sp. ( University of California, Museum of Paleontology; cast 140601 ) from the same general vicinity as the Triceratops pelvis, shows T. rexlike bite marks (i.e. broad and deep elongate bite furrows). The element has five bite mark furrows distributed axially on its dorsal and lateral surfaces ( Fig. 4 ). The largest furrow is 5.4 cm long and 0.9 cm deep. The bite furrows are deeper toward the proximal end of the element, suggesting that the tyrannosaur was pulling away from the carcass as it produced the bite marks. No serration marks are evident on the specimen.
