Sue the T. Rex (FMNH PR 2081)
Dinosaur fossil
Sue the T. Rex is the largest, most extensive and best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex specimen ever found at over 90% recovered by bulk. It was discovered in the summer of 1990, by Sue Hendrickson, a paleontologist, and was named after her. The fossil was auctioned in October 1997, for $7.6 million, the highest amount ever paid for a dinosaur fossil, and is now a permanent feature at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois.
