SUE IN THE FLESH

Click to download full size photograph: geo86199c.tif

Taking cues from the structure and muscle-attachment markings of Sue’s jaw, sculptor Brian Cooley was able to reconstruct what many of Sue’s victims saw in their last moments before death. Cooley used educated speculation to add the details that bring Sue to life, placing large air sacs in front of her eyes and completing her formidable countenance with a pebbly green hide. Sue’s complete mounted skeleton will be unveiled in May, 2000. For more information call The Field Museum at (312) 922-9410.
