hi Franoys

did you hear about the new Tyrannosaurus specimen named 'Trix'
apparently it was older and possibly larger than 'Sue'

lenght estimates have put it at 12-12.5 meters in lenght and it 
was also a very bulky specimen. probably over 8 tonnes.

Yeah, I wrote the wikipedia article. It is indeed an interesting specimen. I'll try to go and see it. Let's hope we get more information fromn it soon.

Oh.
well you did a good job writing the article. I hope you can find new data on the specimen.

Thank you.

I'll try, but it is going to be hard. The mounted specimen just arrived to the Naturalis museum and has been exhibited for only 4 days. And after june it is going to go on an international tour. I have hope it will probably attract a lot of attention however.

I haven't seen it yet, but I plan to.

That's cool!

If you can, please take some photos, so we can upload them to Wikipedia!

not trying to sound bossy or anything

when your there could you ask some of the "experts' or workers for details on its total size?

(like total length height and maybe weight?)

if you don`t want to or you can`t find any its fine

but if Trix was being sent to Alberta, id use the opportunity to take some picture and gather more information.
