Squelette de Tyrannosaurus Rex Museum of Natural History New York // NEW YORK, États-Unis — le squelette authentique de Tyrannosaurus rex (spécimen AMNH 5027) est exposé dans l'aile David H. Koch Dinosaur du Musée américain d'histoire naturelle. Ce spécimen historiquement important, recueilli en 1908 à Big Dry Creek, Montana, par B. Brown et P.C. Kaisen, a été le premier squelette de T. rex jamais exposé publiquement. Entre 1992 et 1994, le fossile vieux de 65 millions d'années a été complètement repréparé et remonté dans une nouvelle pose, plus scientifiquement précise, le distinguant des autres

Informations supplémentaires

Photograph by David Coleman. The Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton on display at the American Museum of Natural History represents one of paleontology's most significant specimens. Cataloged as AMNH 5027, this authentic fossil skeleton was discovered in 1908 in Big Dry Creek, Montana, by renowned fossil collectors Barnum Brown and Peter C. Kaisen during an AMNH expedition. This particular specimen holds historic importance as the first T. rex skeleton ever mounted for public display, making it a cornerstone of dinosaur paleontology. The specimen is housed in the museum's David H. Koch Dinosaur Wing, where it serves as a centerpiece attraction. Between 1992 and 1994, museum conservators completely dismantled, re-prepared, and remounted the skeleton in a new pose that reflects updated scientific understanding of tyrannosaur posture and biomechanics. Unlike many dinosaur displays in museums worldwide that utilize cast replicas, this exhibit features actual fossilized bones, making it exceptionally valuable both scientifically and educationally. Tyrannosaurus rex lived approximately 65 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period, representing one of the last non-avian dinosaurs before the mass extinction event. Standing approximately 12 feet tall at the hip and measuring about 40 feet in length, T. rex is considered one of evolution's most formidable predators, with a massive skull measuring up to 5 feet long equipped with serrated teeth that could exert tremendous bite force.
