On May 17, 2000 The Field Museum unveiled Sue, the largest, most complete, and best preserved T. rex fossil yet discovered. The Field Museum purchased Sue for nearly $8.4 million – the most money ever paid for a fossil.
Sue is named for fossil hunter Sue Hendrickson who found the fossil August 12, 1990, on the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation near Faith, South Dakota. Although the sex of this T. rex is unknown, the name stuck.
