T. rex was a predator, KU research finds
T. rex was a predator, KU research finds While pursuing his paleontology doctorate at KU, Robert DePalma uncovered two fused dinosaur vertebrae with a tooth embedded between them. He and his mentor, David Burnham, showed that the tooth belonged to a Tyrannosaurus rex— settling a centuries-old debate by proving that T. rex was a predator, not a scavenger. Burnham explains the process, the scientific debate, and KU's graduate program in paleontology, which is ranked seventh best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
