In the autumn of 1998, a nearly complete lower jaw of Tarbosaurus was prepared by a team consisting of Bjørn Lund, Hans Arne Nakrem, Øyvind Enger and Jørn H. Hurum from the Paleontological Museum, Oslo with help from Tomasz Sulej of the Institute of Paleobiology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw.
The preparation of the lower jaw was complicated because it was preserved together with the left side of the skull.

Tarbosaurus was an extremely close relative of T-rex, that it is believed by some scientists, that the two should be placed in the same genus; Tarbosaurus would be renamed Tyrannosaurus baatar.
(To its own genus Tarbosaurus is frequently assigned the Asian species Tyrannosaurus baatar.) As the Tarbosaurus is more ancient than the T-rex, it suggests the genus could initially have appeared in Asia and then entered North America (through the land bridge connecting these continents in the Cretaceous).

 Tyrannosaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some scientists consider the slightly older Tarbosaurus bataar from Asia to represent a second species of Tyrannosaurus, while others maintain Tarbosaurus as a separate genus.
However, a recent redescription of the skull of Tarbosaurus bataar has shown that it was much narrower than that of Tyrannosaurus rex and that during a bite, the distribution of stress in the skull would have been very different, closer to that of Alioramus, another Asian tyrannosaur.
A related cladistic analysis found that Alioramus, not Tyrannosaurus, was the sister taxon of Tarbosaurus, which, if true, would suggest that Tarbosaurus and Tyrannosaurus should remain separate.

 Review of the Tyrannosauridae
Primarily a bone-by-bone osteology of Tarbosaurus efremovi, the paper appeared posthumously in 1974 in the first volume of the Transactions ["Trudy"] of the Joint Soviet-Mongolian Paleontological Expeditions.
Thus, Tyrannosaurus bataar represented a large, aged adult almost 15 meters long; Tarbosaurus efremovi represented a younger adult about 80% fully grown; Gorgosaurus lancinator was a 60%-grown subadult; and Gorgosaurus novojilovi was a 40%-grown juvenile.
For example, the type specimen of Gorgosaurus lancinator, generally referred to Tarbosaurus bataar, is indeed a juvenile, as Rozhdestvensky stated.

The Tarbosaurus and Saurolophus are another cosmopolitan pair from the Asian Cretaceous.
Tarbosaurus may just be a slender variant of the North American Tyrannosaurus while Saurolophus has been on both continents.
Conventionally this is seen to show that the close relationship of the fauna was a result of migrations from Asia to North America in the Late Cretaceous.

While there is no agreement as to whether the Tarbosaurus bataar, along with its other tyrannosaurid relatives, were active predators or opportunistic scavengers, it is not disputed that they were the largest terrestrial carnivores ever to inhabit the Earth.
These animals began to evolve during the start of the Early Jurassic period and by the Late Cretaceous tyrannosaurids were the dominant carnivores through the ancient world.
Due to the lack of fossil evidence to show that the more ancient Tarbosaurus bataar ever existed outside of Asia, it is thought that tyrannosaurids developed first in Asia and then moved to North America over the Cretaceous land bridge.

Tarbosaurus was a associate of the dinosaur family of tyrannosaurids, which flourished during the Late Cretaceous.

The skull of a newly prepared Tarbosaurus bataar is described bone by bone and compared with a disarticulated skull of Tyrannosaurus rex.
Both Tarbosaurus bataar and Tyrannosaurus rex skulls are deep in lateral view.
The division is supported by differences in anatomy of the two groups: in Asiatic forms the nasal is excluded from the major series of bones participating in deflecting the impact in the upper jaw and the dentary-angular interlocking makes a more rigid lower jaw.

This was the “year of the dinosaur feet”, because in addition to collecting more dinosaur footprints, several with skin impressions, we also collected a beautifully preserved Tarbosaurus foot from Nemegt, and several hands and feet of Pinacosaurus from Alag Teg.
One of the footprints had already been published on (see attached paper), which made it very important for collection because it needs to be in a museum so that other paleontologists can refer to it in the future.
Albert's Tarbosaurus is mentioned in a paper on Shanshanosaurus that was published last year in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences.

*Tarbosaurus efremovi* is also from Russia, Mongolia, but I am not so sure about China.
Meanwhile, the often associated *Saurolophus angustirostris* is almost as big as *Shantungosaurus* and serves much better as prey than an animal that is at best contemporaneous.
