Sue (dinosaur)
Sue is the nickname given to FMNH PR 2081, which is the largest, most extensive and best preserved "Tyrannosaurus rex" specimen ever found, at over 90% recovered by bulk. It was discovered in August 1990, by Sue Hendrickson, an explorer and fossil collector, and was named after her. After ownership disputes were settled, the fossil was auctioned in October 1997, for US $8.3 million, the highest amount ever paid for a dinosaur fossil, and is now a permanent feature at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois.
Karst Living Museum
The area of the Karst Living Museum is an abundant archaeological site with various findings of fossils, animal bones and ancient artefacts. In the cave "Ludvikova jama", in the vicinity of Orlek, animal fossil bones from the Pleistocene period were found. The bones belong to a wolverine ("Gulo gulo"), the biggest marten, living today in the arctic and subarctic areas of the globe. Other prehistoric sites are the cave "Jama v Partu pri Ogradi", the rock of Krnavica and the rock-shelter Malenca, where the remains of earthenware and coal were found, together to faunal remains of sheep, goats and wild animals (deer). In the cave "Jama v sežanski gmajni" pieces of earthware from the late Roman period were found.
