Inspecting the fragments of skull, jaw and teeth more closely, they realized they had a tyrant on their hands.

OK, a serious question, demonstrating how long it has been for me since high school paleozoology. The presumption back in my day was that dinosaurs were cold-blooded, like their present-day descendants the gators and crocs.
