Knitting pattern for the world’s most popular dinosaur. Tyrannosaurus Rex were only on the planet for a relatively short time and around 50 Tyrannosaurus Rex skeletons have been found. The best preserved T-Rex skeleton ever found was discovered in 1990 by Sue Hendrickson, an explorer and fossil collector. So they named this skeleton “Sue”.
