When the preparation was complete in 2011, a ~65% complete T. rex skeleton was revealed. [ 2 ] Since its discovery and extensive subsequent study, Scotty has been referred to as the largest T. rex ever discovered in the world, the largest of any dinosaur discovered in Canada, and as one of the oldest and most complete fossils of its kind at ...
Based on the size of the tibia, experts estimate the dinosaur was 13 to 15 years old when it died and likely weighed around 3,500 pounds — about two-thirds of the size of a fully-grown adult T rex.
