This is an amazing find, preserved fossil stomach contents of a young Gorgosaurus! It munched twice on Citipes  and adds support to the theory that tyrannosaurs changed diet as they aged:

Really cool discovery! Gorgosaurus is definitely one of the most well-known tyrannosaurids (if not the most?).

It made the Today morning radio programme this morning with interview of David Hone.

I read an article about this topic early this morning.  An interesting find that was apparently made in 2009?   At any rate, I didn't find any of the conclusions very startling, just confirming what has long been suspected for the most part...nice to have substantive evidence though.  Probably the most interesting part was that the remains of Citipes found in the stomach are the best remains of Citipes yet discovered.
