Asiatyrannus

Asiatyrannus (meaning "Asian tyrant") is an extinct genus of tyrannosaurine theropod dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous Nanxiong Formation of China.

[2] The Asiatyrannus holotype specimen, ZMNH M30360, was discovered in September 2017 in sediments of the Nanxiong Formation near Shahe Town in Nankang District of Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, China.

The specimen consists of most of an articulated skull in addition to disarticulated parts of the postcrania, comprising much of the right and left legs and several caudal vertebrae.

[6] Other theropods include therizinosaurids (Nanshiungosaurus)[7] and many oviraptorids (Banji, Corythoraptor, Ganzhousaurus, Huanansaurus, Jiangxisaurus, Nankangia, Shixinggia, and Tongtianlong).

[13] The Mongolian Nemegt Formation contains a similar fauna, including the large tyrannosaurine Tarbosaurus, two species of the alioramin Alioramus, and smaller tyrannosauroids such as Bagaraatan.
