The American team was able to find the well-preserved remains of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The skeleton was found by volunteers from the Burke Museum on site formation the hell Creek. It is noted that in the entire history of the excavation only 15 times was able to locate the skeletal remains of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Now the volunteers managed to find the skull length of 1.2 meters and a width slightly less than a meter.
Experts believe that it belonged to an adult 15-year-old dinosaur species Tyrannosaurus. At the moment, from the land we managed to get only a fifth of the skeleton. Despite this, archaeologists have reported large bones, which are inside the ground at hell Creek. Representatives of the Burke Museum has previously organized the expedition, in which were found the remains of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The volunteers drew attention to the bones in the Sandstone, which slightly resembled a dinosaur. In order to precisely say the kind, it was decided to raise about 20 tons of rock. Initially, the team was able to get the edges and only in the end they got the appearance of the skull in meter width.
After that, the scientists could accurately be called the age and breed of dinosaur. It is reported that he lay in this place for about 66 million years. The total length of the 15-year-old dinosaur is about 12 meters, and tyrannosaurs at its core was small, only reaching 5-6 meters in height. According to archaeologists, the find was only 15% less than their counterparts.
Excavations continue, and the us scientists were joined by experts from many countries of the world. Information provided in a press-service of the Burke Museum.
