A Nonotyrannus Lancensis, which is a pygmy T. Rex (Yes I know, how cute, a small T. Rex but it could definitely still eat you!) was found with its teeth embedded in the neck of the other dinosaur, a Ceratopsian, relative of the Triceratops. \u00a0Additionally, the chest and skull of the tyrannosaur were crushed, possibly from being kicked by the Ceratopsian. \u00a0It was quite a battle, but it appears that the real winners are the couple who own the land where these dinos were found.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/07\/30\/arts\/design\/dinosaur-skeletons-headed-to-auction-not-museum.html?_r=0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Dinosaur Skeletons Headed to Auction, Not Museum - NYTimes.com\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130730DINO-slide-XV3I-articleLarge-v2.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/07\/30\/arts\/design\/dinosaur-skeletons-headed-to-auction-not-museum.html?_r=0\">Dinosaur Skeletons Headed to Auction, Not Museum<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An incredible discovery of two fossilized dinosaurs in the Hell Creek formation in Montana are headed to New York. \u00a0No, it&#8217;s not the newest addition to the Museum of Natural History;
