Description
This is a close up of the business end of the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton that has recently been placed on exhibit at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. Evidently the people of Montana demanded to have a Montana T-rex on display at this state funded institution.text & photo (c) John P. Alexander

If I remember right, they had a full T-Rex skeleton before, but it was moved across the country. And I believe that we were promised to have a new full skeleton, and that resulted in this. Also Jack Horner runs the Museum, and he's worked on all the Jurassic Park movies.

Here is a photo of Jack Horner being presented with one of my sculptures. I am a colleague of one of his doctoral students.

Is there supposed to be a link? I think you may have forgotten it.
But this tells a little more about Montana's Rex.Β www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI8uerβ¦
Since I live here in Bozeman, I've also had the chance to meet Jack Horner, and I've looked at this great exhibit as well. I took a picture with my phone to use as my background (it's too poor quality for a bigger size).

Nice, and I just found out I already faved it lol. One time Jack Horner visited my Biology class (Montana State University and Horner's Museum of the Rockies support each other). It was a lecture class, and Horner talked about the different ways we could control the DNA sequences needed for a Dino Chicken, or even just a pink unicorn.

I can't blame them. Is Tyrannosaurus their state fossil?

Maiasaura peeblesorum is Montana's state fossil.

Huh. So much for my theory then.
