Your Favorite T.rex Specimen
Rex Fan 684
MemberCompsognathusAugust 21, 20143569 Views22 RepliesI've been on a bit of a kick lately regarding individual T.rex specimens. So, today I raise a question. Which is your personal favorite? For me, it's the holotype...
Couple of reasons why. One is it's huge! At 11.9 meters long and 7.3 tons when alive, this is one of the biggest T.rex specimens we have. Also, it's the first one we found. Finally, it's MY T.rex. What's that mean? Well, the people of Chicago view Sue as their T.rex(though the residents of Hills City may beg to differ). AMNH 5027 belongs to the people of NYC. Well, since The Carnegie Museum of Natural History is practically in my back yard, I've kind of developed a soft spot for the holotype(specimen number CM 9380).
So, what is your favorite individual T.rex?

Mine would be the two 40 foot long Stans battling it out at the museum I work for. it even made an appearance In JFC!
