A T-Rex

 

Specifically, Sue, the largest and most intact T-Rex ever found. In 1990, a group of workers from the Black Hills Institute in South Dakota found Sue. It’s important to note that before she was completely removed from the ground, the Black Hills Institute paid $5,000 for Sue and the permission to remove her. Other dinosaurs and fossils had been removed from the area beforehand with no argument. This was fine and dandy, until Maurice Williams, the man who lived on the Indian Reservation Sue was taken from, realized how valuable Sue was, and stole her back via the Government. They literally showed up with warrants and took her, and the judge said they couldn’t take her because he ruled she was land, not a person property of Williams. She was then returned to Williams who sold her for many millions of dollars. It’s still stealing if the Government does it, as laws don’t determine morality. You can find out more of Sue’s story in the documentary Dinosaur 13. She’s now on display in the Field Museum in Chicago, despite being discovered, and lovingly taken out of the earth by the Black Hills Institute.
