This article describes the efforts of a team paleontologists to uncover and preserve the fossil remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex they called Jane. The fossil of the theropod was found in Montana. A backhoe was required for a full-scale excavation, to remove the approximately 12 feet of rock that covered Jane's bones. When the fossil was finally out, it was transported to the Burpee Museum in Illinois. After much analysis, Burpee paleontologists concluded that Jane is a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex based on growth rings preserved inside its bones. |
