A new subspecies thought to be an older and more primitive relative of the Tyrannosaurus rex likely roamed the Earth around southern New Mexico some 7 million years before the hulking dinosaur.

They say the discovery reshapes ideas about how T. rex first came to be in what is now North America by introducing its earliest known relative on the continent.
