Field museum has Sue the T-rex on display, after someone paid $9 million and

donated it to the museum, after the federal govt stole it from the poor paleontoligists who discovered it, bought it, spent 2 years of their lives excavating it, and planned to show it in their small little south dakota musuem. What a terrible story that was.

At least you can see it on display at the Field Museum.

SUE the T. rex

As the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found, SUE is a vital fossil specimen to the paleontological community.
