On August 12, 1990, the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found was discovered by Sue Hendrickson in South Dakota. Happy 35th birthday to the GOAT of GOATs (Greatest of all Tyrants) 🎉.
So anyways, share something you like about Tyrannosaurus rex if you want.

This break from Dinopedia hadn't exactly gone to plan. One of the improvisions is that we went to the Field Museum (again) instead of the Shedd Aquarium (that place costs a lot). This time around I went through more of the museum than just the fossil area. Took considerably less photos than the first time I went. Here's what I consider some highlights.
Geosternbergia (the museum calls it that fight me)
Megalodon (they put the teeth on backwards [flat end at the front of the mouth])
Helicoprion
Tiktaalik
Tullymonstrum
Herrerasaurus
Apatosaurus
Daspletosaurus & Lambeosaurus
Sue
Galagadon (how the hell [creek] did they find a bamboo shark tooth)
Borealosuchus
Hyaenodon
Megatherium
Sobek
Plushie Quetz (& arctic fox cameo from Toledo Zoo)
The shirts I got from both visits
And some photos of Essien at Lake Michigan
