Title: Which dinosaur was the king of gore?
Post by: thedoc on 07/12/2013 13:30:01

Gary Staab asked the Naked Scientists:
   
I had the pleasure of creating a sculpture of a new species of Tyrannosaur "Lythronax argestes"  which means  "King of Gore" announced just yesterday by scientists in Utah.  
 
The video clip is just 2 minutes long
 

 
Hope all is well.
Gary
 
What do you think?

Impressive piece of work Gary. Fascinating to see the process from scratch, how long did it take?

I liked the parts where the sculptor was scratching the back of the dinosaur's neck - and then giving him a shave!

For those who are passing through Sydney, Australia, there is a Tyrannosaur exhibition (http://australianmuseum.net.au/landing/tyrannosaurs/) including skeletons from China & USA. It includes computer animations of dinosaurs walking past the Sydney Opera House...
