Description It's been a long time for this, so now I have something I haven't keep all of these days since last 3 months.

This paleoart here is a different connection between these two tyrannosaurs of southwestern states known as four corners. Both of them are publicly named on the same year as 2019, both of them are from mid-late cretaceous period, both of them are from different states and they're in separated time of different stage.

This one on the left is Moros intrepidus, which is apparently a pantyrannosauria is the oldest specimen that was originate from Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation in Utah, dating in 96.4 million years in mid cretaceous.

Another one is Zuni coelurosaur which is later to be known as Suskityrannus hazelae, the youngest pantyrannosauria from Moreno Hill Formation in New Mexico during the late cretaceous around 92 million years.

Moros is based on the asian relatives such as Xiongguanlong and Timurlengia, while Suskityrannus is based on new skeletal design by Scott Harman from Nature paper. And also, I drew a Navajo man as a scale size, based on the Navajo jewelry from the old image that is belongs to rightful owner.

The colors for Moros is based on coloration from Sinosauropteryx as open plain camouflage, and Suskityrannus is based on Northwest Coast Coyote, because you known that name comes from Zuni word for "Coyote."

Update: I get rid of lines for less mistake.
