    I mean, probably happens a lot that the bones of different dinosaurs end up next to each other.

    Would it happen for every T-Rex fossil in the same way? Well, less likely…

      I’m assuming the research more meant that there were 3 cryptic species lumped into what we today call t-rex

          Well I believe this has happened. Wasn’t brachiosaurus found to be a mashup of multiple species? Or maybe it was a different one…
