Tyrannosaur vertebra?

[jikohr]

I did a little research and found something interesting. Here's a thread Troodon posted showing closeups of the tail vertebrae of Anzu and Struthi. The centrum of their tail verts are pretty short and round compared to the topic vert.

Struthi

I also found a bunch of similar pics but of the tail of a Rex. The Rex tail verts do seem to have a flatter and taller centrum compared to Anzu and Struthi. Albeit the verts in the picture are a lot fatter than the specimen in question, but you would expect that when comparing adult rex verts to a smaller Tyrannosaur that could be juvie rex or Nano.

I'm not saying this is definitive, but anyone else seeing this or is it just me?

Thank you for your patient reply. English is not my native language, and I took some time to understand your meaning.

Is this your call to my vertebrae?

Thank you to every member who has expressed their opinions.🙂

I consulted some hunters, and they said that flattening or deforming fossils during preservation is common. I posted photos from different angles, could this be the reason for thinness?
