First off, the tyrannosaurus dinosaurs are in the suborder Theropoda, and were bipedal, which is a fancy way of saying that they walked on two feet.
They had three toes and one dewclaw. The ones found in British Columbia were over 2 feet long and over 5 feet between tracks.
Finally, these tracks are incredibly rare with discoveries in,
1 track 1983 in New Mexico
1 track in Montana in 2007
- 1 track and another partial track in New Mexic in 2009 on the same ranch as the one in 1983.
7 tracks in British Columbia in 2011.
3 tracks in Wyoming in 2016
It's also worth pointing out that being more specific than this is hard, with some tracks being either from a Nanotyrannus or a T-Rex and they aren't even certain if those are two different types of dinosaurs or Nanotyrannus is a juvenile T-Rex.
As far as pictures go,
From New Mexico,
From British Columbia
From Wyoming
