Fossil Found of Super T Rex in Mexico

     Throw away all of your pre conceptions about the Tyrannosaurus Rex; all of those images stuck forever in your head from Jurrasic Park.  Long considered the most dominant animal to ever walk the face of the earth, the fossilized remains of a predator that dwarfed the T Rex have been found in what was once tar pits in southern Mexico.

     The newly discovered and remarkably preserved remains have yet to be named; ‘Super T Rex’ is simply the monniker attached at the current time.

     The dimensions are nothing short of mind boggling;  While Tyrannosaurus ran 40 feet in length, 15 feet in height, and 7 tons, the Super T rex nearly doubled it.  The specimen is estimated to have been 62 feet long, and stood just over 20 feet above the ground.

     But the size of the specimen isn’t even the most remarkable aspect; what has scientists world wide in a frenzy is the fact that there are actual soft tissue samples that have been preserved by the unique properties of the tar in which the animal was captured.

     The doors this discovery opens are remarkable;  it is entirely possible at this point that a Jurassic Park like scenario in which DNA is extracted could now occur.

     Photos of the fossils themselves are expected to be released in mid December.
