It had 22 lower and 20 upper teeth, each four inches long and one inch thick. The body was covered with hair-like fur. Two anthropologists arrived from Fairbanks to examine . the body, which is believed to be that of a tyrannosaurus or gorgonosaurus—species of the dinosaur which roamed the Continent millions of years
