Previously discovered T. rex skeletons were usually missing over half of their bones. [10] It was later determined that Sue was a record 90 percent complete by bulk, [11] and 73 percent complete counting the elements. [12] Of the 360 known T. rex bones, around 250 have been recovered. [1]
His findings, published in 2019, yielded that Scotty is the largest (in weight and length), having out-measured the previous largest known Tyrannosaurus rex: Sue of the Chicago Field Museum (FMNH 2081). [13] After prolonged study of the growth patterns in the bones, "Scotty" was also declared as one of the oldest known T. rex fossils at 30 ...
Tyrannosaurus, which roamed western North America, was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs. It appears this Tyrannosaurus was about 13-15 years old, two-thirds adult size, 25 feet (7.6 meters ...

Hendrickson is best known for her discovery of the remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex in South Dakota on August 12, 1990, in the Cheyenne River Reservation. Her discovery is the most complete skeleton of Tyrannosaurus known to science. This skeleton is now known as "Sue" in honor of her.
These facts alongside the roughness and rugosity of the skull are indications that this individual had reached an old age for a T. rex; in this case at least thirty years, as opposed to Sue's 28 years (which was the second oldest specimen known until now), making Trix the oldest Tyrannosaurus known.
