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.

In 1878, the largest find of Iguanodon fossils to date occurred in a coal mine at Bernissart, in Hainaut, Belgium. At least 38 Iguanodon ("Iguanodon bernissartensis") skeletons were uncovered, at a depth of , of which 30 were brought back to the museum and put on display. They were mounted by Louis Dollo and set the standard that was followed for over a century. Found alongside the "Iguanodon" skeletons were the remains of plants, fish, and other reptiles, including the crocodyliform "Bernissartia".
