Siamotyrannus isanensis
Name Means: "Siam Tyrant" Length: 23 ft.(7 meters)
Pronounced: sye-Am-oh-tye-Ran-us Weight: 1.5 tons (2,700 kilos)
When it lived: Early Cretaceous - 95 MYA
Where found: Thailand

Siamotyrannus is the earliest known member of the tyrannosaur family. This medium-sized carnivore seems to be about halfway evolved into a T. rex. A number of scientists believe tyrannosaurs originated in Asia and this discovery supports that theory. The genus is based on pelvic and tail vertebrae, no skull material was discovered for Siamotyrannus. It has features that seem to show an intermediate stage of evolution between the allosaurs and the tyrannosaurs. Not yet described.

I thought Dilong was the earliest tyrannosaur.

Dilong is the first and most bona fide (Authentic) in the world, but Siamotyrannus isanensis is the first member found to evolve in Asia to prove T-rex originated from there. Dilong was really cool because it not only is the first, but has feathers in the fossil too.

I just wish they'd devote an article to trilobites.

Creatures as dangerous as me have to be kept on a leash by law. The other restraints are just for fun!
