This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Daspletosaurus (trex shown)

In 1921, Charles Mortram Sternberg found the skull, the shoulder, a forelimb, the pelvis, a femur, and all of the vertebrae from the neck, torso, and hip, as well as the first eleven tail vertebrae of what he thought was a new Gorgosaurus
In 1970, Dale Russell finally fully described that specimen and found it was distinct enough to be renamed to Daspletosaurus.
In 2001 a second, more complete specimen was found in the same area.
