New dinosaur exhibits will be taking over the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria.

One of those exhibits is 91裸聊视频淪ue the T. rex91裸聊视频� from the Field Museum in Chicago, which will be shown in conjunction with a new in-house exhibit exploring the dinosaurs of British Columbia.

Victoria Arbour at the Royal B.C. Museum is the palaeontologist behind the planning.

91裸聊视频淪ue is a really special specimen of T. rex,91裸聊视频� Arbour said. 91裸聊视频淚t is one of the most complete tyrannosaurus rex skeletons ever. It91裸聊视频檚 really beautifully preserved 91裸聊视频� almost all of it is there. From the skull down to the tip of the tail.91裸聊视频�

Sue was found in the late 1980s and the skeleton was prepared out of the rock in the 91裸聊视频�90s and early 91裸聊视频�00s. This travelling attraction has in Arbour91裸聊视频檚 words, 91裸聊视频渟ome new ideas about Sue91裸聊视频檚 body shape and proportions.91裸聊视频�

Many had recognized Sue to be the largest living creature ever. That title might be taken from the feisty female creature after the Canadian contender 91裸聊视频淪cottie from Saskatchewan91裸聊视频� stepped onto the scene.

The Field Museum got its hands on the skeleton structure in an expensive way. After Susan Hendrickson made her landmark discovery, Sue was desired by three parties. The five-year custody battle ended in a public auction in 1997. The Field Museum paid $8.4 million 91裸聊视频� the most ever paid for a skeleton at an auction.

Locally, the museum is highlighting dinosaur discoveries across the province.

91裸聊视频淲e don91裸聊视频檛 typically think of British Columbia to be a place with a ton of dinosaur fossils,91裸聊视频� Arbour said. 91裸聊视频淎lthough we don91裸聊视频檛 have as many dinosaurs here as in Alberta, we actually do have some really interesting ones. We have an ever-growing number of dinosaurs fossils. We have a new species here at the Royal B.C. Museum nicknamed 91裸聊视频楤uster91裸聊视频� and a really great story of the research I91裸聊视频檓 doing here, looking for new dinosaur fossil sites in the northern part of the province.91裸聊视频�

She, along with the other fossil finders, 91裸聊视频渦sually drive up there in the summer, helicopter there for an hour, then hike around on these high alpine platforms and find some dinosaurs.91裸聊视频�

While Alberta has the most fossils in Canada and is one of the largest fossil banks worldwide, British Columbia has several fossils from all three major dinosaur periods. These include the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, unlike Alberta only having fossils from the Cretaceous period.

RBCM has not finalized a date for 91裸聊视频淪ue the T. rex91裸聊视频� but anticipates a June arrival.
