Teratophoneus surriei) bonebed in the late Campania n-aged Kaiparowits Formation of southern Utah\, nicknamed the Rainbows an d Unicorns Quarry\, provides the opportunity to investigate the relations hip between different age groups of this apex predator. Taphonomic analys is of the site using sedimentology\, fauna\, and floral make-up\, bone al ternation\, rare earth element geochemistry\, and stable isotopic composi tion suggests a complex taphonomic history. This complex history started with the death of the tyrannosaurids\, burial\, and secondary transportat ion into a peri-fluvial\, low-energy lacustrine setting. The similarity o f REE analysis and the isotopic composition of pedogenic carbonate nodule s and turtle-shell suggests the remains at the RUQ site were from the sam e ecospace and were fossilized in the same fossilization event. This\, al ong with evidence from other sites\, provide evidence that the tyrannosau r mass-burial site could be part of an emerging pattern throughout Larami dia reflecting innate tyrannosaurid behavior such as habitual gregariousn ess.\n\n\nDr. Celina Suarez is a native of San Antonio\, Texas. She's an associate professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arkansas\, USA. She received her BS in Geosciences from Trinity Universi ty in San Antonio\, an MS in Geology from Temple University and a PhD in Geology in 2010 from the University of Kansas. She was an NSF Postdoctora l Fellow at Boise State University. Suarez's research focuses on using tr ace element and stable isotope geochemistry of fossil vertebrates\, inver tebrates\, and paleosols to understand fossil preservation\, past greenho use climates\, and major climate shifts caused by C-cycle perturbations. Her research has taken her throughout the U.S.\, to China\, South Africa and Lesotho.
