Abstract

An isolated frontal found at the Tsagaan Teg locality in the Gobi Desert is described. Such features as a short orbital rim and the presence of a sagittal crest indicate that this specimen belongs to Tyrannosauroidea. Because the sediment cropping out at Tsagaan Teg is considered as belonging to the Cenomanian-Santonian Bayn Shire Formation, the present specimen contributes to improving the extremely poor fossil record of tyrannosauroid theropods in the lower Upper Cretacous.
