I first read about this in the Washington Post ("Young dinosaur died with a full stomach, remarkable fossil reveals"), but I'm linking below to an article that doesn't require a subscription to read. It also has a great action shot.
75-Million-Year-Old Fossil Is First-Ever Tyrannosaur Found With Stomach Contents
" “It feels rather unfortunate for the Citipes [the bird species that was consumed], but lucky for us,” study co-author Dr Darla Zelenitsky of the University of Calgary told IFLScience. Zelenitsky describes the Gorgosaurus specimen as a “once in a career fossil” – though, it’s worth noting that her career has involved a few of these by now – because of its uniqueness as the first Tyrannosaur ever found with preserved stomach contents."
"Yes, I'm hungry. Can I have a steak for a change?"
