Complete Dino Skull News

By Chuck Milam -

See below link to read new discovery:

"The Tufts-Love skull is only one of 15 more-or-less complete skulls ever discovered." 

 When I was in docent training in 1979, we were told there were only 4 T-Rex skulls in the world and that the LANHM had two of them, still on display in the dino hall.  I wonder what more exciting finds are waiting to be discovered?
