Dinotyrannus is the name given to a fragmentary skull and assorted bones that at first were thought to be an Albertosaurus . Originally called Albertosaurus  megagracilis, it was later renamed when it was determined that it lacked the small horns over the eyes that are found on Albertosaurus  It is possible that it may be of the genus Tyrannosaurus  .
