69. Chicago's Field Museum and Sue the T-Rex

69. Chicago's Field Museum and Sue the T-Rex

A fun afternoon at The Field Museum in Chicago in late April 2023. We had fun playing all the various quizzes - and learned we are terrible at Gorilla Trivia! The highlights of the museum are the dinosaurs (all the Egyptian Tomb is lots of fun too) including Sue the T-Rex.

We easily spent 4 hours there and would have stayed longer but they closed.

1
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:08.800
The Shark Deck. During the week, I found myself in Chicago and I

2
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.679
went to the Field Museum with my
daughter. I hadn't planned on doing this

3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.599
as an episode, but I've always
got a recorder with me and we were

4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.960
having a great time, and this
episode is a lot of fun. The

5
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:24.760
Field Museum is located on Chicago's Lake
Michigan. Sure, it's a little south

6
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.399
of Millennium Park and the Bean if
you know what I'm talking about, a

7
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.760
little north of Soldier Field. You're
probably familiar with the NFL and the Bears

8
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.799
play there, and they've got over
there the aquarium, the planetarium, and

9
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.159
the Field Museum as you're here.
As we were walking through, they had

10
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.039
these quizzes and we started playing the
quizzes and the audio. Every time I

11
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.159
shut off the recorder, I'm like, that was gold. So this is

12
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.039
a lot of fun. This is
my daughter and I being a little goofy

13
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.000
at the Field Museum. The museum
opened in eighteen ninety four and has a

14
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.880
collection of yearly forty million artifacts and
specimens. The nice lady at the gate

15
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.840
let me in free, but we
just had the basic admissions, so we

16
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.439
couldn't go to some of the exhibits. Here in late April of twenty twenty

17
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.400
three, there's an exhibit of Europe's
first Kings. We didn't get into that.

18
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.200
We did not get into the Cyrus
Tang Hall of China. We did

19
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.480
not get into death Life's Greatest Mystery. But we did check out Sue the

20
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.719
t Rex, which was awesome.
We easily spent four hours there and the

21
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.719
only reason that we stopped is because
the museum closed. We were walking around.

22
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.760
They were like bing. The museum
closes in fifteen minutes, and we

23
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.760
took of those fifteen minutes eighteen minutes. Hi, how are you great?

24
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.439
Great? Thanks resident, non resident. All right, you guys, I

25
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.560
just want to wod ticket for today. Yes, please, here you go,

26
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:45.319
think it day. Thank you up. You have a good one.

27
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.040
Nice. So on Tuesday, Illinois
residents getting free, which I am not.

28
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.560
The woman hucked it up. That's
cool. Just came up to a

29
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:59.599
bison and this particular specimen has traveled
thousands of miles, part of the Franklin

30
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.239
Jeff's bi centennial exhibit, which visited
Paris, Warsaw in London, New York,

31
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:07.719
San Francisco, and here in Chicago. Big stuff Bison, pretty cool.

32
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:14.360
Oh wow, so we found a
gorilla that lived in Chicago and Lincoln

33
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.759
Park Zoo in the nineteen twenties.
Wow. Gorilla died in nineteen fifty one.

34
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.719
His mounted remains have been on display
at the Field Museum ever since.

35
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.319
Wow, it's a zebra. I
don't say about the zebra other than it's

36
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.560
a zebra. It's pretty cool by
zebra. I like the zebra. Hey,

37
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.560
do you ever realize you're stating right
in front of a dinosaur skull and

38
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:37.199
not realize it? Well, you
don't want me paying attention to any details.

39
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.520
It's the underground adventure. It's for
a whole new world beneath your feet.

40
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.879
You will shrink two one hundred times
smaller than your usual size. Wander

41
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:50.080
through worm tunnels, roam through generals
of roots, let's go. I don't

42
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.360
really know what that means. It's
an underground adventure, and it's not included

43
00:02:54.360 --> 00:03:02.360
in basic admission. No underground adventure
for you. I'm so excited about the

44
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:09.120
underground event. Nope, no underground
adventure for you. Welcome to Ancient Egypt.

45
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.639
Wait, the exhibit really begins one
slide up after reconstructed tomb. You

46
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.280
might want to start there, take
the stairs behind you. Good advice.

47
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:23.800
All right, So do you think
Egypt is the colorful sign that says what

48
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.520
is an animal? But do you
think it's this thing that looks like at

49
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:36.280
two? I guess very clearly,
no data. I don't know. It

50
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.560
could be the one with the squid
and the stingray and the seagull and the

51
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:50.800
little kids. This looks like an
Egyptian two. Yeh, wow, oh

52
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.120
I see, And that's where we
were downstairs, and it tell us twelve

53
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:58.680
year oh need, but thirty foot
dropped down on a mummy. So right

54
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.199
now we're in a recreation with Reola
moved. Yeah, no, one's getting

55
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.680
wow. Back up in the main
lobby. The lights of the Egyptian tombs

56
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:11.520
put me to sleep. Enjoyed it, but the darkness and my apparent laziness.

57
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.960
But now we're checking out the dinosaur. Maximo is his name? Hello,

58
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:20.000
I am Maximo, the titanosaur.
You can text him at eight four

59
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.839
four ninety nine four three four six
six attempted to do it? Should I

60
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.800
text him? I'm gonna text him. See what happens? Yeah, text

61
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:38.000
him? Let's text hello. He's
not answering his texts. Eight four four

62
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.639
nine nine four. I got it
right. I didn't text a random person.

63
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.600
Do you need the one? Maybe
I don't think I need the one?

64
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.319
Maybe he'll text me later. What
should we see the First Pains of

65
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:56.639
Europe? I'm gone, how I
definitely want to see the featured exhibit.

66
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.720
The first piece or Eupe is not
included. Basic and no first things for

67
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.120
you, no underground adventure for you. But you did get in free.

68
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.480
Perhaps we can see the second Kings
of Europe. This is a show about

69
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:14.040
death. Death, Life's greatest mystery
not included, but you did get in

70
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:20.399
free. We've made our way through
Africa, which is including what's the TV

71
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.519
picture of a goat? It's kind
of darkness, looks the most to meet

72
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:30.920
them, I see. Oh no, I'm trapped. I'm mesmerized by what

73
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:41.000
horrible things about that happened to goat. I'm sorry, mister Goat. That

74
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:48.160
thing goes and expected at all.
It's time for African trivia. You name

75
00:05:48.319 --> 00:06:00.439
three African deserts, Sarah, yes, you have ten seconds, Gobi,

76
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:08.560
that's good, and and the one
that we're going to be like, wow,

77
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:13.040
that was really obvious. Let's look
what is it? Sahara? The

78
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:17.439
Calahari and the Libyan, none of
which are the Gobi. Next question,

79
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:23.680
how much of Africa is dry grasslands? Yeah? Five seconds? What's good

80
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:32.240
nat thirty five percent? I'm gonna
say thirty six percent. I want it,

81
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:40.879
okay. I kind of giraffe and
I said a phrase, giraffic parks.

82
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.839
Here's the pitch you Jeff Golden for
one teen He goes, wait,

83
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.079
you combine dinosaur DNA with a giraffe. What are you thinking? And then

84
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.959
Chris Pratt will do the movie and
it's basically Jurassic Park with giraffes. There's

85
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.079
some giraffes to eat one hundred and
seventy five pounds of food a day.

86
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.079
It's amazing. Hippos on the eat
ninety in their way bigger, but it's

87
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.720
because they don't really move that much. You don't need as m chanlegy.

88
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.600
You have not been in San DIEGOZ
right, No? So I love what

89
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.360
they did there. It's open like
this, but like whoever built it knows

90
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.319
like the giraffe can't step over,
like the twelve foot pit or whatever.

91
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.360
It is so like you're just there. I'm like standing when an actual draft

92
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:24.319
is close, but there's no fence. That's amazing. Yeah, I'm just

93
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.160
excited about traffic. Park. Signify
a giraffe. Trivia question number one,

94
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.720
How does a draft defend itself?
I'm not sure if it's a joke with

95
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:39.040
a pun or not. The answer
by flight, not fight. A giraffe

96
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:44.639
runs away. Next question, how
does a hippo defend itself? I think

97
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:58.879
it charges the answer what hippo?
I feel these games got it going on.

98
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:05.959
Final question for one thousand points.
How does a rhino defend itself?

99
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:13.399
The rhino has to charge the answer
by showing anger anger in all caps exclamation

100
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.399
point. The rhino is not messing
around, and it will charge. No

101
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:22.560
will charge, but there is no
hippo. Welcome to Lake Ecosystems. Trivia.

102
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.560
Our question, can you guess the
weight of this big fish? Let

103
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.240
me describe the fish. It's let's
say I'm five nine. It's probably about

104
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.440
five feet tall and weighs two hundred
pounds. Can you guess the weight of

105
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.759
this big fish? It just gave
you a clue. I'm going to guess

106
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:46.120
the lower. Ever guess the answer. A single nile perch may weigh up

107
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:52.480
to four hundred pounds. You lose. Yeah, but It doesn't say this

108
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:58.679
fish. It just says no.
It clearly says this big fish. Yeah,

109
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.960
But this doesn't say this is ways. It says a single nile perch

110
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.240
mayway. So you've believe there's a
question with a trick answer. Yes,

111
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.120
I think the trick question how much. I don't think this fish weighs war

112
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:16.559
to pounce. It's pretty hollow.
I think this actual fish weighs about twelve

113
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.840
exactly. That's what I'm saying.
It's time to play. What's that loud

114
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:30.799
noise? Are you ready? My
question to you is the gorilla agitated or

115
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:37.320
playful? I think it's playful.
I think it's playful. Agitated the gorilla

116
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.000
is about to kill you? Oh
no, all right, let's play again.

117
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:50.320
Next sound. My question to you
is the gorilla crouchy or relaxed?

118
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.679
Grouchy? It sounds grouchy, but
I feel like gorilla trivia is a trick,

119
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.679
and this guy's gonna be relaxed.
I'm gonna say he's relaxed. The

120
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.679
answer. Both young gorillas grumble to
let others know when they're getting too close.

121
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.039
Other grimbling sounds say it's okay to
come closer. So so far we've

122
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.399
been killed by two gorillas? More
sounds? Is this going to be a

123
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.720
different sound? Ye, this question
is totally different. The first question was

124
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:22.039
is the gorilla agitated or playful?
This question is the gorilla angry or scared?

125
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:30.320
Ready? Ah, I'm scared?
That was scary. Was the gorilla

126
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:39.279
scared or just we're scared? I
think the answer both. Next question,

127
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:50.000
new sound, is the gorilla cranky
or content? Let's listen, I'm gonna

128
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:58.039
say both. I'm gonna say content. The answer contents. I'm an oh

129
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:07.559
for foreign gorilla. So we find
ourselves in a part of the museum describing

130
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.159
Hawaii volcanic eruptions. And now we
found another quiz. It's time to play.

131
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:20.480
What do you know about Pacific geology? First question, how fast does

132
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.879
the sea floor spread? I don't
even know what units to put it in.

133
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:33.639
I'm going to say three kilometers a
year. The answer the sea floor

134
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:39.120
moves about four inches every year,
or a mile every sixteen thousand years.

135
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.799
I was slightly off, and that
is the fastest moving of all of Earth's

136
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.600
tectonic plates. All right, I
hope for one at least, and I'm

137
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:50.279
being killed by monkeys. Second question, how old are the Hawaiian Islands five

138
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:56.840
seconds. You have to guess the
Hawaiian Islands are ten thousand years old?

139
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.759
All right, you say ten thousand
and I'm going to say they are ten

140
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.600
thousand and one years old. The
answer they are seventy three million years old.

141
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.039
I won that one. Next question, what is the ring of fire?

142
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.960
What is the ring of fire?
I think I know this one.

143
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:24.000
What is it? It is the
if you start drawing in along the Asian

144
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.200
coast, kind of by Japan,
and then up the coast to Conchaca and

145
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.399
then down Alaska, it's like where
the earthquakes could happen. Probably a better

146
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.679
way to describe it, which will
find when I lift this panel. But

147
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.360
that's what I think. The ring
of fire is. Ring of fire.

148
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:45.840
At the edge of the Pacific Ocean, many geological plates collide. Dramatic volcanoes

149
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:50.840
that result are theme today's volcanos,
among them Mount Fuji and Mount Saint Helens

150
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.200
have given this region the name Ring
of Fire. Our final question of Pacific

151
00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:03.600
geology trivia is what's Earth's tallest mountain? Why is Earth's tallest mountain? I'm

152
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:11.360
going to go with Mount Everest.
Are you sure yes? The answer Mona

153
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.240
Key on the Big Island of Hawaii's
thirteen thousand, hundred ninety six feet above

154
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.879
sea level, more than thirty three
thousand feet above the base on the ocean

155
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.879
floor, so we were measuring from
the bottom of the ocean. We tripped

156
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:26.960
you. I feel like that could
have been described in the initial question.

157
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.960
Take it up with mister Field.
Dear mister Field, I wish to protest

158
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.440
your trivia question now. If that
happened at Wednesday Night Trivia, I would

159
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.559
totally protest a lot of trick questions
at the Field Museum. But we were

160
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.879
not killed by any guerrillas. We
have found a toll trivia a lot of

161
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.200
trivia at the field. Who's him
the question? Which of these plants can

162
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:58.120
survive on an a toll? Let
me ask you. Can a coconut survive

163
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:05.000
on an atoll? Yes? The
answer? Yes? All right, Let's

164
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.639
make this a little harder. Can
an orange survive on an athole? No?

165
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:16.120
No, two for two? All
right? Next question? First question?

166
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.720
What is a pandanis? Second question? Can a pandanis survive on an

167
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.000
athole? I don't know what it
is, but I think it can survive

168
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:31.879
on an athol? Yes? Adanas
can grow all over atolls. They seem

169
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.279
to be some sort of tree.
All right, one more arose. Can

170
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:43.159
a rose survive on an atol?
The answer no, This delicate plant would

171
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.320
wither in the athol. Now I
have a question for you, Oh no,

172
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.840
what is it? My question is
what is an atol? An atol

173
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.120
is like a little spit of sand
in the middle of the ocean. Somewhere.

174
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.679
Is there somewhere where we can verify
that this is Okay, We're just

175
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:05.639
gonna going that is the answer that
seems right, seems right. It must

176
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:13.320
be an answer somewhere. They probably
told us we don't even know what an

177
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.240
AD's hole is, but a rose
can't grow on it. Is this gonna

178
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.080
get dark? We're walking to the
part where they tell us the US denadated

179
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.720
sixty seven atomic test bombs on the
Marshall Islands. Is this going to be

180
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:26.159
like the goat where I'm like,
oh cool, the beach and then there's

181
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.159
a mom's gonna go off. Field
Museum is very tricky. Oh, now

182
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.840
we're in the climate change part.
We moved on to the nuclear part.

183
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.360
Oh, we got over the nukes
pretty quick. Look at this Field Museum

184
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.679
has an awesome Matt painting game.
I'm looking here at a sailboat on a

185
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.639
beach, but the beach kind of
evolves into a picture of a beach,

186
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:54.360
and they've curved the walls like really
really good, Like I didn't take a

187
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.679
picture of this, and this will
look realistic. We have found our way

188
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.519
to the Dimesaurus and we both walked
in and we were like, Wow,

189
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:03.879
I want to know what this one
is. This looks totally cool. All

190
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:08.159
the signs on the other side,
All right, Despotosaurus, a smaller cousin

191
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.559
of the t Rex. This looks
like the thing that would eat you at

192
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.080
Jurassic Park. Totally So the real
skull is the one we saw downstairs.

193
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.519
Yes, that's a reconstruction, but
they have the real skull. Yes.

194
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.519
And the rest and most of the
body is a real phospic Yes, me,

195
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:27.919
I wonder what I separated the real
skulls room. Here's an ankles sourus.

196
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:34.000
These are the tanks the Mesozoic era
found. A Parasura Lapis kind of

197
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:38.720
looks like Jardara Biggs. But I
found a button quill and push to hear

198
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:52.080
the voice of the Parasura Lafis.
I'm in now, it is expecting.

199
00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:00.440
Sue. The t Rex habitat forested
floodplains diet meats length forty and a half

200
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.519
feet, estimated weight about ten tons. Sue was about thirty years old at

201
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:08.119
the time of death. Sex unknown. When scientists talk about Sue as a

202
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.640
specimen, they used to pronoun it. You'll see it pronouns when we talk

203
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.799
about Sue the fossil. Sue was
also an Internet celebrity to follow. Sue

204
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.920
at At Sue the t Rex one
word hometown, Faith, South Dakota,

205
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:25.200
diet mostly Ham is the Internet celebrity. I don't think the actual t Rex

206
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:30.559
eight Ham housemate Maximo, the titanosaurs
on Maximum as well, enemies, asteroids,

207
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.759
interests love this Jeff Goldbloom, Chicago, Sports role playing Games. Sue

208
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.720
is named for Sue Hendrickson, who
discovered the dinosaur in nineteen ninety during a

209
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:44.279
commercial excavation trip north of Faith,
South Dakota. Hendrickson's bought at a few

210
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.079
large vertebrae jutting out out of an
eroded bluff to follow a hunch there might

211
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.359
be more beneath the surface. In
the end, it took six people seventeen

212
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:55.720
days to extract the dinosaur's bones.
After the discovery, three parties embarked on

213
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.640
a five year custody battle that ended
up in a public auction in nineteen ninety

214
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.880
seven. Highest bid or the Field
Museum. They bid eight point four million

215
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.960
dollars, the most money ever paid
for a fossil at option suit debuted at

216
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.720
Stanley Field Hall in May of two
thousand twelve. Museum preparators spent more than

217
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:17.119
thirty thousand hours preparing the skeleton,
plus another twenty thousand hours building the exhibit.

218
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:19.240
At more than forty feet long and
thirteen feet tall at the hipped,

219
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.799
Sue is physically the largest t Rex
specimen discovered. Out of more than thirty

220
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.960
two Rex skeletons that have been found, Sue is also the most complete from

221
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.599
round ninety percent. The museum has
two hundred and fifty of the approximately three

222
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.000
hundred and eighty known bones in the
t Rex skeleton. In twenty eighteen,

223
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:41.160
they disassembled and took Sue from Stanley
Field Hall and moved Sue to the Griffin

224
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.039
Halls of Evolving Planet. Which is
this audio here checking about Sue the t

225
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:52.839
Rex. Very impressive. Two of
the sounds they have, It's as if

226
00:18:52.880 --> 00:19:00.680
it's well learnt till So that's the
Field Museum. We had a wonderful day.

227
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.480
There's an absolute great time. Chicago
is fantastic. There are plenty of

fifty corn on the cobs under his floorboards?
