Dueling Dinosaurs

Fossil hunters have found the first complete skeleton of a T-Rex. Not only is complete, and in good condition, but it's locked in combat with a triceratops, also a complete and well preserved skeleton.


It has been described as ‘one of the most important paleontological discoveries of our time’ – and is the only 100% complete T-rex ever found. Dr Lindsay Zanno, head of palaeontology at the museum, said: ‘We have not yet studied this specimen; it is a scientific frontier.

‘The preservation is phenomenal, and we plan to use every technological innovation available to reveal new information on the biology of the T. rex and Triceratops. ‘This fossil will forever change our view of the world’s two favourite dinosaurs.’

 The 10-year-old in me is jumping up and down and yelling: "I want to see this!"
