Meet 'Scotty,' the biggest Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever discovered, according to a new study. It's also the largest dinosaur skeleton that's yet been found in Canada.
Paleontologists have discovered the biggest Tyrannosaurus rex fossil yet found, according to a new study. The fossil is also the largest dinosaur ever uncovered in Canada.
About 66 million years ago, the fossil -- nicknamed"Scotty" -- belonged to a 42-foot-long Tyrannosaurus roaming prehistoric Saskatchewan. When researchers studied the leg bones, they found that the dinosaur probably weighed in at about 9.7 tons. That makes this Tyrannosaurus bigger than any other carnivorous dinosaur. The study was published last week in The Anatomical Record.
