About this event

Learn about this famous fossil’s history, complete with trivia and an interactive 3D model.

Take a closer look at SUE in these online events and brush up on little-known facts about the most complete adult Tyrannosaurus rex. Field Museum staff guide you from SUE’s life in the Cretaceous to the latest scientific research. Using a 3D virtual model scanned straight from SUE’s fossilized bones, they’ll point out key features that give hints about SUE’s past.

Trivia breaks give you the chance to test your dinosaur knowledge. Please, submit your questions using the Q&A feature of the Zoom Webinar or include them in your registration form. We'll answer your questions live during the tour.

This online event is free with a suggested $10 donation and is suitable for adults, families, and kids (recommended for ages 5 and older).
