Tyrannosaurini

Olshevsky et al. 1995

Les tyrannosauridés (Tyrannosauridae), terme signifiant « lézards tyrans », sont une famille fossile de dinosaures théropodes du Crétacé supérieur d'Amérique du Nord et d'Asie, comprenant notamment Tyrannosaurus et des espèces apparentées. Ils sont classés en deux ou trois sous-familles, selon les auteurs.
