Tarbosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurine theropod dinosaur that lived in Asia about 82 - 68 million years ago, during the Maastrichtian age at the end of the Late Cretaceous period, considered to contain a single known species: Tarbosaurus bataar. Fossils have been recovered from the Nemegt and Djadochta Formations of Mongolia, with more fragmentary remains found further afield in the Subashi Formation of China and the Jingangkou Formation of South Korea, along the South Korean Peninsula.
