The Tyrannosaurus rex fossil at the AMNH was unearthed by fossil hunter Barnum Brown at Big Dry Creek, Montana in 1908. In 1915, it became the first T-Rex fossil to be mounted and displayed. In the early days of its display, the fossil was mounted in an upright position that was scientifically incorrect. In the early 1990s, the posture was changed: the head was lowered and the tail came up, displaying the T-Rex in the stalking posture. This is what you will see at the museum today when you walk into the hall.
