Meet Victoria, one of the most complete T. rex fossils in the world

(I'm posting these stories because the specimen has been used in scientific
research as noted in the article, but I'm not sure who owns the fossil.
Although it may be privately owned, I assume it is not being offered for
commercial sale, so mention on the DML should be OK (I hope). Some people
may have issues if it's privately owned (and not formally curated where
anybody can request to study it), but Tristan is also privately owned and
was covered on the DML... Note that the Faith, South Dakota area, is where
Sue was discovered as well.)
