The Story of Scotty The T.rex - Biggest in the World

otime.ca/
In 2019, Scotty was proclaimed the biggest T.rex in the world.
Believed to be a female, Scotty measured over 13 m or just over 42.6 feet long with a weight of over 8.8 metric tons. Discovered in the dinosaur rich Frenchman Formation, Scotty's bones have been carefully preserved and are stored at the T.rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, Saskatchewan.
In this documentary, we go back to the beginning and tell the origin story of Scotty, and how it was discovered on that fateful day in 1991. As well, we showcase the lasting impact the discovery had on the town of Eastend and the Paleo world in Canada.

[@chrisserfass8635]

It would be nice to have something like this on the Discovery Channel more often.

[@kenwalker8587]

I am so glad to see this. I lived in Maple Creek and went there to see Scotty. Over the years, I became good friends with Tim Tokaryk and learned a lot from him. The people of East End deserve so much credit for what they have put into this project. I remember being in the lab watching a technician remove waste from one of the bones. You need the patience of Job and a steady hand to pull it off. Now, back in New Brunswick, I have found 300 million year old tree fossils and 470 million year old marine fossils. We have no dinosaurs here....but then there's Joggins in Nova Scotia.

I used to make models for museums. On one occasion I visited Oxford museum to have a meeting with the curator, and he gave me a tour. I was used to measuring casts of dinosaurs to build models but rarely touched actual fossils. He undid a cabinet and handed me something. It was a large heavy fossil, he then explained it was the type specimen of the partial jawbone of megalosaurus. This was the first and only one. Absolutely priceless. I quickly and extremely carefully handed it straight back to him. I had seen photographs of this fossil in books since I was a kid. It was a privilege, but I was much happier when it was back in the cabinet. If you make an appointment with your local museum, the curators are often very happy to show stuff behind the scenes, so you may be able to get to hold a T. rex tooth in your hand.

[@chrisredfield8590]

@@66lesjo WOW! are you talking about THE lower jawbone of Megalosaurus the one that has that one big tooth that looks larger than the rest? I just googled that fossil and it really is from Oxford museum. That's such a unique experience and it was one of the first fossils that we have since the start of paleontology. I saw it in books since I was a kid too,it's so cool you actually hold it in your hands. Congratulations on such a privilege and thank you for your contribution to a paleontology.

[@carldeithorn3450]

It may well be that we'll never find a specimen larger than, Scotty, but when you consider how very few animals were actually fossilized and preserved for potential discovery, and how in every species you'll find examples of "smaller than average" and "larger than average" specimens, I can't help but to contemplate the possibility that if, Scotty, is a large average, mature adult, then it would seem likely that at some point "larger than average" adult T-Rex's must have existed, and perhaps there's a fossil just waiting to be discovered of an animal in excess of 50 ft. that would dwarf all of the other examples we have now. Just a thought.

[@stephengiles1356]

Without a shadow of a doubt there was Tyrannosaurus specimens that would dwarf even scotty and I'll explain why. 1 scotty isnt exceptionally larger than other adult rexs 2 look at modern animals today there is always an absolute monster of specimen. Take the African Bush elephant. Makes average 5 to 6 tons the largest on record was almost 11 tons almost twice the size. Before saltwater Crocodiles was almost hunted to extinction there was reports and even photographs of absolutely monstrous specimens. Tyrannosaurus spanned over 2 million years there was absolutely many freak specimens who would've lived during that time. Unfortunately as you said fossilisation is rare and the bigger the animal the less likely much of it would fossilise. Especially when other Tyrannosaurus wouldn't think twice about feeding on a dead relative.

When bones aren't cooked they are much different plus being related to birds they might of went through a gizzard filled with stones that pulverized meat bones and gristle.

Honestly, I don't think anything is impossible for us humans, we'll possibly even build a time machine. ( I'm very open minded ) that being said; it'll probably be 10 - 20 years before we even attempt to bring back the Dinosaurs. Don't give up hope, I believe it will happen. We're starting out with plants, we've already brought back some late cretaceous and jurassic period plants from extinction. Cloning: We're already trying to bring back the Sabre Tooth Cat and the Wolly Mammoth, I think when we bring them back, we'll try ever more advanced stuff. It's like with starting out with anything; practice and practice, and eventually you become a pro and discover even more techniques and other stuff. It's not outside the realm of possibility.

CORRECTION: The Gravity at 70 Ma was a maximum of (22,660,943.54 / 35,100,000) = 0.645 611 g. This comes from ( 4936.681 km radius X 4590.32 kg/m^3 ) / ( 6371.008 x 5509.332 kg/m^3 ). Weight correction is thus 0.645 611 X 8.8 metric tonnes = 5.681 38 metric tonnes without rounding if this animal is actually from 70 Ma. Forward in time and "g" goes up.

I am sure they must have scanned the bones for study. They could print 3-D copies to use as patterns for mold casting and make easy reproductions. In various sizes for models or whatever. And sell them as fund raisers. Many years ago, I had a plastic model of a T-Rex skeleton. It was cat sized. It was from back in the day when it was presumed T-Rex dragged her tail on the ground.

hell, selling 3D OBJ's with texture maps for 3D renders, would also be cool. yet I'll guess if they did that, it would cost way more than I get a year before bills to buy a virtual 3D model, lol. that is a lot of individual bones to scan, clean up the 3D scanned mesh, etc, that is honestly a hell of a lot of work. even if only a foot claw, or a finger claw, or whatever. it would be cool tho. archeopteryx, Microraptor, and an Enantiornithes, would really peak my interest, I just doubt I could afford the cost of 3D scanning them (again, lots of bits to scan and clean up the mesh on). there is also an unrelated Egyptian 3D model I would like as well, however, I doubt that would ever happen given others appear to be more interested in the aged and broken ones instead of the countless complete intact ones. I think it's funny that so many want the aged and decaying models instead of a pristine new one.

I've been prepping fossils for 4 decades. I will never use plaster to fill a long bone of that weight. She probably misspoke using the term "plaster" rather than the actual product used. I prefer stabilizing fossil bone with a two part epoxy polymer. These products today are stronger than bone and extremely durable.

It's hard to feel terrified of a T-rex when I imagine it saying, "soree, but i'm afraid i'm gona to hafta eat ya eh?".

Whos bigger scotty or sue

[@Thulgore]

How many other people wonder and mourn the loss of countless fossils due to erosion. It hurts me to know it has to be an amazing amount of information that will never be known. It's gone. It's only beaten by my knowledge that I will never know what any of these animals were truly like. I hate mysteries without a conclusion. The conundrum.

[@rockyslay4310]

Well, we're missing around a billion years fossils because of world wide floods/ice.... and I am also disappointed by that fact. Damn!

[@mikedowney5371]

Do bones shrink as they dry, fossilize over 60 million years?

[@SituationNormalAint]

Bunny hands? Really?!?

[@Asiansxsymbol]

If I could time-travel, I'd go back then to ride a T-Rex. 😁

[@nfs2seturkish988]

It was king among kings. There is so much adaptation T- Rex had for being strong. It was literally a living war machine. The amount of physical punishment that these guys endured, god, they lived hell before being fossilized. Sometimes you are happy for them to be gone, it would be impossible to kill one without advanced equipment we have now, they would definitely erase us from history before we civilised.

[@DogWalkerBill]

Beam me up, Scotty! I don't see any saurian life down here.

[@Justprism]

All dinosaurs are fantastic even the ones you think are boring,now currently the biggest rex is ed cope but Scotty is still fascinating even many thought nothing surpasses it but time come for us all

[@sircophagusthethird6936]
