T. Rex Coming to Stearns County!
Sue is 42-feet long, 12 feet high at the hips, and is the largest, most complete and best preserved Tyrannosaurs rex ever discovered – and she is coming to Stearns County!
The Stearns History Museum will have Sue the T. rex on display from September 20, 2009 to January 3, 2010.
One of the largest flesh eaters to have inhabited the Earth, Tyrannosaurus rex roamed North America about 67 million years ago. This T. rex is named for Sue Hendrickson who discovered the dinosaur near Faith, South Dakota in 1990. The Field Museum of Chicago purchased Sue and spent more than 30,000 hours preparing the more than 250 bones and teeth in Sue’s skeleton.
