Description from the seller
Very detailed replica of a T-Rex skeleton.
Class: Carnivore
Fossil dimensions: length 70 cm. height 22 cm.
The skeleton is shipped disassembled to prevent damage during transport, so it will need to be assembled.
Sue Hendrickson, an amateur paleontologist, discovered the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus skeleton (about 85%) in the Hell Creek formation on August 12, 1990.
The base and support are included.
Shipping Guarantee
Packed and insured, with traceability.
Tyrannosaurus (by name), fierce and relentless like all predators at the top of the food chain. And even very intelligent. A new research changes the image that novels and movies often portrayed of the T-rex, which 65 million years ago had no rivals among carnivores. Now, some researchers say that the T-rex's cerebral cortex had a neuron density comparable to that of a baboon, which would have allowed it to live up to 40 years, learn to use tools, and pass on its knowledge to its offspring.
A controversial study by neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel of Vanderbilt University (USA) has estimated this by assessing the brains of modern birds (descendants of dinosaurs) and comparing them to the size of the T. rex's skull.
