Real t rex skull7/2/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Damage to the back end of the skull was interpreted early on as a fatal bite wound. A subsequent study found these to be areas of parasitic infection instead, possibly from an infestation of an ancestral form of Trichomonas gallinae, a protozoan parasite that infests birds and ultimately leads to death by starvation due to internal swelling of the neck. Multiple holes in the front of the skull were originally thought to be either from a bacterial infection or bite marks by some other tyrannosaur. Original reports of this broken bone were contradicted by the CT scans which showed no fracture. The left fibula is twice the diameter of the right one, likely the result of infection. This damage subsequently healed (though one rib healed into two separate pieces), indicating Sue survived the incident. An injury to the right shoulder region of Sue resulted in a damaged shoulder blade, a torn tendon in the right arm due most likely from a struggle with prey, and three broken ribs. During life, this carnivore received several injuries and suffered from numerous pathologies. A Nova episode said that the death occurred in a seasonal stream bed, which washed away some small bones. We ended up buying a large gun safe that we needed anyway and only storing the memorabilia in it until he came and took it back, where as part of the remodel was a new climate controlled room to store it in.Ĭlose examination of the bones revealed that Sue was 28 years old at the time of death-the oldest T. After a few weeks and after allowing my friends to see it, we had to decide where the hell you store it. Being a 14 year old baseball fanatic I literally had a collection of items that were absolutely worthy of Cooperstown in my basement. No, it was baseballs signed by the 19 World Series teams, a Don Drysdale game worn jersey, bat signed by Duke Snider, program from game 1 of the 1965 Series signed by the Twins including Harmon Killebrew and a bunch of other random signed balls and items from his uncle. He only told my dad a few balls, bats, a jersey or two, some programs. While his boss was getting his home remodeled, he asked my dad to look over some memorabilia for him so none of it was damaged or stolen. My dad's old boss was related to Smokey Alston, the manager of the Brooklyn/LA Dodgers for the better part of 20 years. ![]() If you want a picture that belongs to you to be removed from /r/pics then please file a copyright notice here.Ĭlick here to find more specialized picture subreddits Please mark spoilers for current movies/games/books with spoiler tags.
