"Black Beauty"

Found by two teens on a fishing trip in southwestern Alberta, this Tyrannosaurus Rex is considered one of the most significant specimens of its kind. Preserved in very hard, light grey sandstone, the bones and teeth of this tremendous meat eater are shining black – stained during fossilization by minerals.
