T. rex body temperature estimated from fossil teeth, similar to humans

Researchers analyzed fossilized T. rex teeth to estimate its internal body temperature, concluding it was warm-blooded with a temperature comparable to humans. The method relies on isotopic or geochemical proxies, and the finding supports the endothermy hypothesis for large theropods. This is a notable paleontological discovery but has no immediate market or geopolitical implications.
