The story in short
The genus Tromerosaurus dates to 2026, the year M. J. Powers and colleagues described it.
It lived in the Late Cretaceous (Campanian), roughly 83.6 to 72.2 million years ago. Finds come from Canada, including the Oldman Formation. It was a carnivore and walked on two legs.
The fossils of Tromerosaurus are too incomplete for a responsible length, hip height, or weight, so those fields are left blank on purpose.
On the family tree it sits in Albertosaurinae, among the theropod dinosaurs.
