Photos of, and associated with, Trix, T.rex in Town, Tyrannosaurus rex exhibition at the Kelvin Hall, Glasgow, Scotland. Check back - more photos will post.

The exhibition is visiting Glasgow on the last leg of its European Tour, on release from Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, the Netherlands. Trix is the 3rd most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton in the world. She is a real fossil. Her skeleton shows various pathologies that provide insight into the life and behavioural ecology of a T. rex in the Cretaceous period.

Tyrannosaurus rex was the largest, and last, of the predatory, carnivorous theropod dinosaurs.

To be able to stand next to a real fossil full T. rex skeleton, of such an iconic, and dynamically mounted, specimen, is pretty awesome.

This creature was alive. It lived and died, here, on Planet Earth ~ 66 million years ago. That is not a long time ago. Geologically speaking.
