Scientists reveal world's first ever completely intact T-Rex skeleton


Daily Mail

"The Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops Horridus - nicknamed the 'Dueling Dinosaurs' - are preserved together in what is thought to be a predator-prey encounter, where both fought to the death. Body outlines, skin impressions and injuries - including tyrannosaur teeth stuck in the triceratops body - can still be seen 67 million years after the ferocious battle. Each of the remains have only been seen by only a few dozen people since they were discovered in 2006 in Montana, US, by professional fossil hunters. It took years to extract the 14-ton skeletons and arrange their purchase, by the non-profit Friends of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences for an undisclosed sum. The group has donated them to North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, in Raleigh, North Carolina, which is due to start building a dedicated exhibition for them next year.
