In 2006, Montana State University disclosed that it was home to the largest Tyrannosaurus skull

ever found, measuring 5 feet (152 cm) long and coming from a specimen known as MOR 008.
[20] The longest head was 136.5 centimeters (53.7 in) from specimen LACM 23844 and the
broadest was 90.2 centimeters (35.5 in) from Sue, according to subsequent comparisons.[21]

Footprints

Possible New Mexico footprint

T. rex has been given a tentative assignment for two isolated fossilized footprints. American
geologist Charles Pillmore made the first one in 1983 at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.
Originally believed to be from a hadrosaur, closer inspection of the footprint revealed a massive
"heel" not found in ornithopod dinosaur tracks as well as possible remnants of a hallux, the
fourth digit of a tyrannosaur foot that resembled a dewclaw. Martin Lockley and Adrian Hunt
named the footprint Tyrannosauripus pillmorei and published it in 1994. The track was most
certainly formed by a T. rex, according to Lockley and Hunt, making it the first known footprint
of this species. The track was created in a mudflat that was formerly a lush marsh. It is 71
centimeters (28 in) wide and 83 centimeters (33 in) long.[22]

British paleontologist Phil Manning initially noted a second footprint that might have been left
by a Tyrannosaurus in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana in 2007. Compared to the track that
Lockley and Hunt describe, this second track is shorter, measuring 72 centimeters (28 in) in
length. It's unknown whether Tyrannosaurus, the only giant theropod known to have lived in the
Hell Creek Formation, left the trail, but it's possible.[23][24]

In 2016, Scott Persons, Phil Currie, and colleagues described a set of footprints found in
Glenrock, Wyoming, dating to the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous and coming from
the Lance Formation. These footprints are thought to have been made by either a young T. rex or
the disputed tyrannosaur Nanotyrannus lancensis. The animal was estimated to have a hip height
of 1.56 m (5.1 ft) to 2.06 m (6.8 ft) and a walking speed of between 2.8 and 5 miles per hour
based on measurements and the locations of the footprints.[25][26][27] The speed estimates were
raised by 50–80% in a subsequent paper that was published in 2017.[28]

Description Dimension

T. rex was one of the biggest land predators ever. Size (in blue) compared with a few huge
theropods and a human. The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago is home to Sue
(FMNH PR2081), one of the biggest and most complete examples. Sue was 3.66-3.96 meters
(12-13 ft) tall at the hips, measured 12.3-12.4 meters (40.4-40.7 ft) in length, and 8.4 metric tons
(9.3 short tons) has been calculated as her maximum body mass based on the most recent
investigations, which included a range of approaches.[29][34] A specimen in the Royal
Saskatchewan Museum known as Scotty (RSM P2523.8) is said to be 13 meters (43 feet) long.
Scotty was calculated to have a body mass of 8.87 metric tons (9.78 short tons) using a mass
estimation method that extrapolates from the femur's circumference.[35][36]

The size of collected adult Tyrannosaurus specimens varies. In the past, estimates of the average
adult mass have ranged greatly, from as low as 4.5 metric tons (5.0 short tons) to more than 7.2
kilogram tons (7.9 short tons)[37][38], with the majority of contemporary estimates falling
between 5.4 metric tons (6.0 short tons) and 8.0 metric tons (8.8 short tons).[29][40][41][42][43]
