Sue at The Field Museum

On May 17, 2000 The Field Museum unveiled Sue, the largest, most complete, and best preserved Tyrannosaurus rex fossil yet discovered.

Sue is a permanent feature at The Field Museum, and there is no additional charge to see her.

The real thing
Male or female, king or queen, no one can be sure. But of one thing there is no question: Sue rules!

You may walk around her—slowly. Examine the bird-like feet, the massive legs and pelvis, the surprisingly graceful tail. Stare into her bottomless eye sockets, her razor-sharp teeth and powerful jaws.

No question about it: this is the real thing. Not a plastic model or a plaster cast. Not a patchwork or composite of bones from different specimens. These are the fossilized bones of the single largest, most complete, and best preserved T. rex fossil yet discovered.

At a time when many museums are displaying replicas of dinosaur skeletons, The Field Museum has strengthened its commitment to authenticity. This is Sue. Explore the Sue Web Site >>
