Sue[a] (stylized: SUE) is the nickname given to FMNH PR 2081, which is one of the largest, [b] most extensive, and best preserved Tyrannosaurus rex specimens ever found, at over 90 percent recovered by bulk. [4] FMNH PR 2081 was discovered on August 12, 1990, [5] by American explorer and fossil collector Sue Hendrickson, and was named after her ...
