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

One of those exhibits is 香蕉视频直播淪ue the T. rex香蕉视频直播� 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.

香蕉视频直播淪ue is a really special specimen of T. rex,香蕉视频直播� Arbour said. 香蕉视频直播淚t is one of the most complete tyrannosaurus rex skeletons ever. It香蕉视频直播檚 really beautifully preserved 香蕉视频直播� almost all of it is there. From the skull down to the tip of the tail.香蕉视频直播�

Sue was found in the late 1980s and the skeleton was prepared out of the rock in the 香蕉视频直播�90s and early 香蕉视频直播�00s. This travelling attraction has in Arbour香蕉视频直播檚 words, 香蕉视频直播渟ome new ideas about Sue香蕉视频直播檚 body shape and proportions.香蕉视频直播�

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 香蕉视频直播淪cottie from Saskatchewan香蕉视频直播� 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 香蕉视频直播� the most ever paid for a skeleton at an auction.

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

香蕉视频直播淲e don香蕉视频直播檛 typically think of British Columbia to be a place with a ton of dinosaur fossils,香蕉视频直播� Arbour said. 香蕉视频直播淎lthough we don香蕉视频直播檛 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 香蕉视频直播楤uster香蕉视频直播� and a really great story of the research I香蕉视频直播檓 doing here, looking for new dinosaur fossil sites in the northern part of the province.香蕉视频直播�

She, along with the other fossil finders, 香蕉视频直播渦sually drive up there in the summer, helicopter there for an hour, then hike around on these high alpine platforms and find some dinosaurs.香蕉视频直播�

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 香蕉视频直播淪ue the T. rex香蕉视频直播� but anticipates a June arrival.
