A T. rex Named Sue
|
|
Sue - a 42 ft. long, 13 ft. high, 90 % complete,
$8.4 million dinosaur from the Cretaceous period. This replica
cast of Sue visited us from the
Field Museum, Chicago and was sponsored by
McDonalds. There were seven
additional Sue related exhibits. Several were reading boards with
factual information about Sue and her surroundings. Others were
interactive exhibits, engaging visitors to see the world through
the eyes of a dinosaur.
Visitors proceeding up the ramps to the balcony level exhibits saw another dinosaur. The 25 ft long
Torvosaurus. This creature lived during
the Jurassic period and like Sue was a carnivore.
There they also found an additional 50 dinosaur skulls
covering several time periods, a large fossilized ischium
of a Supersaurus, and a full sized 35 ft. fossil cast of a
Saurophaganax standing
over everything in the exhibit hall. Additionally, a 14 ft. long
Stegosaurus awaited the eye along with
countless skulls, bones and
dioramas of the several dinosaur periods.
