According to popular wisdom, Tyrannosaurus rex were legendary hunters; indeed, evidence of their hunting prowess lingers in the form of bite marks found on the bones of various herbivorous sauropod dinosaurs, like brontosauruses. That being said, some researchers have argued that many of these bite marks are lacking certain indicators that would imply that they were the result of hunting: namely, a lack of trace evidence of healing in the bones. Though this could mean that all the injuries were incurred in a single lethal encounter, it also could indicate that post-mortem scavenging is what led to the bite marks on the bones of the herbivores.

In the 1980s, scientists at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History acquired a partial skull from a large adult from the genus Tyrannosaurus and identified the species as Tyrannosaurus rex. In 2013, Sebastian Dalman began working on the specimen and noticed small differences between the skull found in the 80s and other T. rex skulls in the museum's collection. The jaw of the New Mexico specimen was more slender, and its teeth lacked the prominent ridge of bone found behind T. rex’s eye. This evidence allowed Dalman to theorize that -------Which choice most logically completes the text?Tyrannosaurus skulls were frequently misidentified as T. rex.eliminatethe New Mexico specimen was a million years older than the T. rex.eliminateTyrannosaurus habitat ranged from North America to Alaska and Mexico.eliminatethe New Mexico specimen was another species of Tyrannosaurus entirely

For many years, there was no evidence of small plant-eating dinosaurs in modern-day North Texas. In fact, dinosaur fossils from about 100 million years ago in North America have been something of a rarity, making the history of the Mesozoic Era on the continent unclear. In a discovery that both disproves the conclusion that small plant-eating dinosaurs never lived in Texas and provides clarity on this era in the area, scientists from the Perot Museum of Nature and Science discovered a jawbone fossil near Lake Grapevine, Texas and determined it belonged to a small herbivorous dinosaur.According to the text, why was the Perot Museum’s discovery of the jawbone fossil significant?The jawbone fossil constitutes the first evidence found by scientists that herbivorous dinosaurs lived more than 100 million years ago.eliminateThe jawbone fossil helps establish that plant-eating dinosaurs’ defining features were their jawbones.eliminateThe jawbone fossil helps establish a more accurate timeline of the evolution of herbivorous dinosaurs in North America.eliminateThe jawbone fossil constitutes the first evidence found by scientists that small herbivorous dinosaurs existed in North Texas and gives a clearer picture of the Mesozoic Era in North America.
