Sue The T. Rex
The largest, most complete, best preserved T. rex ever discovered! In May 2000, the unveiling of her 67-million-year-old skeleton at The Field Museum made global headlines. Since then, more than 16 million visitors have marveled over Chicago’s prehistoric giant.

Be sure to say Hi! She's an old girl, but she's Chicago's girl. Also, the gap between the ribs on the sternum shouldn't exist - they made a mistake when they made the cast of the original bones.
Sue's real skull is upstairs on the 2nd level. Why? It's 600 pounds and this too heavy to be mounted!
Fantastic exhibit ; I especially loved the timeline throughout, gave great context for everything!
This piece of conifer wood - hidden for close to 2 million years 18 feet underground Chicago area - just stays there in the box, what have you seen, what story are you trying to tell me?
Sue is a must see! Get there early as there can be a wait.
The largess and most complete dinosaur in the world!
Don't forget to check out the Sue Store on the top floor!
