Comment on this resource
This Why File article investigates the controversy over 'Sue', the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex remains ever found. A timeline of the events is given that led to her final placement at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Due to politics, land rights, ownership arguments, and other issues, her bones were unsettled and not completely studied from 1990 to 1996. This article also examines what dinosaurs really are, as well as different forms of fossils.
