Agreed - we visited Sue a couple of weeks ago. Amazing. I can only imagine what the geologists were thinking when this discovery was made.

Just in case anyone is wondering, the photo fsu813 posted is Sue, but it was not taken in Jax

I think the photo fsu813 posted is Sue in her regular display in the Chicago Field Museum. As far as I know, the traveling exhibit is a cast of the skeleton and not the real thing, but still worth checking out.

But if you ever get the chance, visit the Field Museum in Chicago. One of the top two or three natural history museums I've ever visited.
