Unfortunately, the AMNH Paleo website is down and  they have the story of the 
Tyrannosaurus skeletons. If I remember correctly, it  was a question of room, 
but I'm not sure about it. But one thing you have to  remember is that they 
actually made half of the group. The old-pose of 5027 WAS  the rearing figure 
on the right in the model shots. The battle concept lived on  in Knight's 
illustrations for National Geographic and _Life Through The Ages_ .  It would 
have 
been the greatest of all dinosaur mounts had it been completed.  You can
