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



Yeah, it's pretty much the same. You can see it in the background of this pic.

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).
