In the summer of 1990, a group of
workers from the Black Hills Institute were looking for fossils at
the Cheyenne River Reservation. They found an Edmontosaurus's bones, and
they were ready to leave, but they had a flat tire. Sue Hendrickson decided
to explore the cliffs while team went to town to fix the flat. She
found two small fossils. When the team came back, she showed the
fossils to them,and they identified them as T-rex fossils.
They named the t-rex Sue, after Sue
Hendrickson. Sue is the largest T-rex. Sue was auctioned for 8.36
million dollars, That is the most money ever paid for a fossil. Sue
permanently remains in the Field Museum Of Natrural History in
Chicago, Illnois.
