It measures nearly 10 feet (3 meters) tall and 22 (6.7 meters) feet long.

Gorgosaurus was just a little guy.
His cousin Tyrannosaurus measured 17 ft. tall and 40 ft. long.

I’d love to have one.

Someone needs to 3D print these skeletons and sell them.

I loved that bit!

Thanks for posting it! 🤣

Just checked with hubby.

He says I can’t have it because we’ve got too many old fossils around here already!

I once saw a little dead bird who died in a very sheltered spot. I watched it for months as it decomposed and the skeleton was laid bare. It was so delicate and beautiful, I wanted to buy a model - but they’re EXPENSIVE!

Yes, I wonder about people who buy fine, historical art and don’t share it - are they able to care for it properly? Will their heirs care about it?

I admire people like Getty and the Hearst family, for starting great museums.

LOL...It’s hard to believe those things existed isn’t it, they were like land sharks
