TitleTyrannosaurus Rex
DescriptionWhen Stan was collected in north-western South Dakota in 1992, it was clear that Stan Sacrison had made a significant discovery. It was only after the bones were prepared, however, that it became clear that this specimen included the best skull of all the Tyrannosaurus rex specimens ever collected. Not only was Stan's skull virtually complete, but the bones were preserved in pristine condition. Perhaps even more importantly, the many bones of the skull were found mostly disarticulated (separated), allowing for a more detailed study than any other T. rex skull.
