The Cleveland Museum of Natural History's Tyrannosaurus rex cast was created by Research Casting International. The skeletal replica is 36½ feet long. It stands 13 feet high at the hips and is 5 feet wide. It is mounted so the top of its skull measures 8 feet from the floor. The original fossil was found by rancher Kathy Wankel in 1988 in the badlands of eastern Montana. The original specimen is on display at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. |
