After some legal wrangling, the skeleton went on display at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The T. rex , nicknamed Sue, is 42 feet long from head to toe, and visitors get a close-up view of the five foot-long, 2,000-pound skull, which contains 58 teeth, some of which are as long as a human forearm.
