Quetzalcoatlus northropi:
Wing Span: 11 to 12 m

Tyrannosaurus rex: Osborn, 1905

Below is the Holotype. Found by Brown in Montana, it lacked some neck vertebrae, forelimbs, most of tail, and pieces of the skull.
Above is a cast of MOR 555, known as the Wankel Rex. It is a good example of the "gracile morph" to the Type's "robust morph". Discovered in 1990, it was the tenth Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found, and incidentally, this animal was the first Tyrannosaurus rex ever found with a complete arm.  With over 90% of the animal recovered, it is still one of the most complete found to date.
Remember! These are low-res photos and collages!  Feel free to E-mail me for information on the high-res photographs.
