Alioramus remotus

†Alioramus remotus was a gracile tyrannosaurid from the Late Cretaceous (~70 Ma) of Mongolia. About 5-6m long with a notably long, low skull bearing a row of small cranial horns, it was a bipedal carnivore. Named by Kurzanov in 1976 from the Nemegt Formation, it represents a more slender and lightly built tyrannosaurid compared to its massive relative †Tarbosaurus.
