This is my favorite dinosaur piece - a heavily customized vinyl Horizon TRex which I modified into a running pose.

Tyrannosaurus rex

Pronounced: tie - Ran - o - Saw – rus Diet: Carnivore (Meat-Eater) Name Means: "Tyrant Lizard" Length: 40 feet (13 m) Height: 16 feet (5 m) Weight: 6 tons (6,000 kilos) Time: Late Cretaceous – 67-65 MYA

Probably the most famous of all dinosaurs, T. rex was probably the fiercest meat eater that ever lived. At more than 40 in length, it was huge and had the most powerful head of any dinosaur. It also had the biggest teeth of any dinosaur - teeth that were not only sharp and cutting edged, but also thick and strong, capable of crushing bones.
