Re: The Carnegie T. rex welcomes visitors to Pittsburgh... :-)



That's actually a cast of Horner's Wankle Rex. Before Carnegie closed for 
renovations, they mounted another copy of the Wankle in the very same pose 
within 
the museum's main hallway outside the Dinosaur Hall. This time, it was a 
black cast rather than the airport's chocolate brown. I suspect that this will 
be 
the pose for the renovated exhibit, as the Wankle argues with the Type 
specimen over a dead triceratops (proposed design).  Come to think of it, I 
think 
it's similar to the bronzed mount outside Horner's Museum of the Rockies (I've 
only seen photos of that one).
