The “Jordon theropod” type snout from Montana has the same shape and front teeth as the other aublysodonts, so it most likely belongs to the same genus. This specimen’s bigger size, bigger teeth and more robust snout indicate it is a little closer to tyrannosaurs proper than the other two species are. I have named it after its describer.
