Tyrannosaurus rex femur bone
Tyrannosaurus rex femur bone. Tyrannosaurus rex (T-rex) was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs. It measured 6 metres tall and weighed 7 tonnes. This bone is part of a near-complete T-rex skeleton being refurbished by Phil Fraley Productions, USA. The dinosaur skeleton is taken apart, bone by bone, and after renovation and refurbishment, will be re-mounted as a new display at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The original T-rex exhibit was mounted over 100 years ago in a posture that is now thought to be incorrect. The new display will feature the T rex skeleton posed as if fighting over a fresh kill. Photographed in 2007

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Tyrannosaurus rex femur bone. As one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs to have ever roamed the Earth, this fearsome creature stood an astonishing 6 meters tall and weighed a staggering 7 tonnes. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in time, as Phil Fraley Productions in the USA meticulously refurbishes a near-complete T-rex skeleton. Bone by bone, this ancient marvel is being restored to its former glory before it finds its new home at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Interestingly, this particular T-rex exhibit has an intriguing backstory. Originally mounted over a century ago in what is now considered an incorrect posture, experts are now rectifying this mistake with their extensive knowledge and cutting-edge techniques. The revamped display will depict the mighty T-rex engaged in battle over a fresh kill, offering visitors an awe-inspiring glimpse into prehistoric life. Within this image lies not just bones but also passion and dedication from those involved in preserving our planet's rich past. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with these magnificent creatures that once ruled our world. Photographed back in 2007 by Science Photo Library, this snapshot transports us back millions of years while reminding us of our responsibility to protect and cherish these invaluable relics for generations to come.
