Bobby Rico Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) MrsR and I had an audience with the king at Nottingham Natural History Museum, Wollaton Hall. An exhibition apparently showcasing the only real Tyrannosaurus rex to be displayed in England for over a century. I think is about 20% complete. Found by Craig Pfister near Ekalaka, Carter County, Montana. The mounted Titus skeleton measures 4 metres (13 ft) high and 11 metres (36 ft) long. The reconstructed the mount used a cast of the Tyrannosaurus specimen Stan to supplement the known bones of "Titus". Titus was found near to a triceratops that also will be joining him at Wollaton Hall in November. Wollaton Hall has a fantastic little collection of natural history that I show at the end of my post.

I don't think that I have been there, but it looks great. I visited so many museums and stately homes when I was young that I'm uncertain especially as the exhibits have changed so much.

Yoda Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 @Bobby Rico Is this T-Rex still on display in Nottingham ? Well clearly so. Last year when it was first displayed, I thought it was just a very short term exhibition. Had planned to go and see it, but it's quite a way from where I live, and never got there.
