Trivia: Sue, the world’s most complete T. rex fossil, was found in which state?
California
Illinois
New Mexico
South Dakota
The correct answer is South Dakota
So why is this answer correct? : On August 12, 1990, paleontologist Sue Hendrickson was walking the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota when she came across pieces of fossilized bone embedded in a rock face. Hendrickson discovered the world’s most complete T. rex fossil, which now bears her name. Many T. rex fossils at the time were around 50% complete, but Sue was a staggering 90% complete, giving an unprecedented glimpse into the age of dinosaurs.
