	File: SUEskullRedbkg.jpg The red background is an appropriate color for the 5-foot-long skull of Sue, the largest T. rex ever found. The skull was too heavy to mount on its skeleton easily, so The Field Museum made a lighter cast that Sue’s skeleton could support without an additional structure. © The Field Museum/John Weinstein
	File: SUEexhibit.jpg The full skeleton of Sue on display in the A T. rex Named Sue exhibition will astonish visitors. The Tyrannosaurus rex is 42 feet long and 13 feet high at the hips. © The Field Museum/John Weinstein
	File: SUEskullBlkbkg.jpg When the public views the skull of Sue up close they will be able to see 58 razor-sharp teeth from 7 ½ to 12 inches long. © The Field Museum/John Weinstein
	File: SUEskullFlesh.jpg This lifelike reconstruction of what Sue’s skull may have looked like in the flesh was created by renowned paleoartist Brian Cookey. The skull alone would have weighed around 600 pounds. © The Field Museum/John Weinstein
	File: SUECTscan.jpg The skull of Sue went through a CT scan at the Boeing Company in 1998. The virtual model of Sue’s skull is comprised of hundreds of individual CT scans, each just two millimeters (about a sixteenth of an inch) thick. © The Field Museum/Chris Brochu
