It was a tyrannosauroid, the group that includes both the true tyrannosaurs (like Tyrannosaurus itself) and basal animals like Eotyrannus, Dilong, Aviatyrannis and Guanlong. Looks up ... CURSES!

This fossil is important because we have something to rub in the faces of people who think that feathery t-rexes won't exist. Well, something relevant, anyway.

They didn't exist at the same times; the world's climate was different.
