Sue The T-Rex Has Become The “Rosetta Stone” For The Species

from Cool Weird Awesome with Brady Carlson · host Brady Carlson

Today in 1990, scientist Sue Hendrickson famously spotted several vertebrae on a bluff in South Dakota. The dinosaur found that day, named Sue in Hendrickson's honor, has become as one expert put it, the Rosetta Stone of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Plus: in the garden of physicist Erwin Schrödinger (born today in 1887) there's a cat-like feature. And depending on the way the light hits that feature, the cat looks alive or not so alive. SUE the T. rex (Field Museum)Schrödinger's Cat Zurich (Spotted By Locals)Make a dinosaur-sized contribution to support this show on Patreon (which size of dinosaur is up to you)
