The Nation's T. rex and Hatcher the Triceratops
The Nation's T. rex standing over Hatcher the Triceratops in the Smithsonian's Hall of Fossils, Deep Time, in Washington, D.C. The Tyrannosaurus is real bone, found in 1988 by Montana rancher Kathy Wankel, with 80 to 85 percent of the skeleton recovered. The bones rest in custom metal cradles instead of being drilled.
Hatcher is the copy here: a composite built from several Triceratops specimens scaled to one size, posed so the scene reads as a meal. Whether the T. rex killed it or scavenged it is left for you to decide.
