Yeah, that poor Sue would gobble you up, crushing your bones as it swallowed you to your demise. It'd be nice if you thought of humans today with the same compassion.

It’s literally bullshit that the government will weaponize the FBI to power grab. And your right, Larson should be compensated. What a great way to encourage future paleontologists! 🙄 Bunch of fucking jackasses. Every three letter agency needs eradicated
@@summertea545piggy backing off of this, always good to ask a native what they refer to themselves as and how they want to be referred to. when you have a brutally significant history of assimilation and cultural destruction, personal views on identity and communal ties become even more important. esp when indigenous folks around the world are often not given autonomy over their preferred designations. but in a general sense yes both the terms indians and natives are okay to use in case anyone thought saying indian was taboo. think that just became a western philosophy
Imagine dying in a horrific worldwide extinction and people are fighting over dibs over your corpse millions of years later I’m not saying that finding fossils and stuff are bad I’m just saying that maybe we should appreciate animals and nature more
This is one of my favorite stories to talk about when it comes down to dino finds, but MAN is it sad. For both Sue's, the arrests made and all involved and all the crazy happenings that occurred. It seemsed like no one could win over such an amazing anomaly of history.
Man... 20 years ago, sue was on display at the bishop museum on Oahu. I still remember the field trip, I was 6 and couldn't believe how big sue really was! Amazing video, I had no idea of the true history behind the find.
This is really interesting; thanks for the in-depth look! Gotta say, finding out that members of this team have also been involved with Dueling Dinosaurs and Cleopatra was a seriously cool addition to the story.
No more pressing issue for the FBI than to be in South Dakota confiscating a dinosaur for the asinine government officials wanting a cut of the action; was their reasoning something to do with PETA or NSA? What a joke that these actions were to serve as a warning to would-be amateur fossil hunters; I’m sure the SWAT teams descending on the site & museum were all well-versed in archaeology, paleontology, etc.
When I was a small child, probably 4 or 5, I went to a Museum and got to see Sue the T-rex. My parents expected me to be afraid of it, but I was actually super interested in it. I wouldn't leave, and my parents legit had to lure me out of the Museum with candy. I was super interested in dinosaurs when I was younger, likely due to actually meeting Sue the t-rex, and wanted to be a paleontologist when I grew up. I'm older now and my new passion is animals. I'm planning on becoming a veterinarian, or at least working with animals in some way, but who knows. Maybe I'll end up becoming obsessed with dinosaurs again. I do still have a bit of a dino interest
I'd call a person crazy if they didnt have any interest in dinosaurs, like yeah living in the present but who doesnt want to know about what came before we did?
I found out about Sue the week before I was going on vacation to Chicago recently. I had to see this fossil and it was pretty amazing. What a highlight of my vacation! I liked that in the dinosaur exhibit they showed what parts of the dino fossils were real, what were replicas or that were behind the scenes. Great to know that Sue is the best preserved T-Rex ever! ❤️
I shall respectfully disagree with you. If it is found on your property, I feel you, the owner of said property, should have the right to keep, sell, or donate it. As scummy as this might be to keep it, you paid for the land, and that includes anything on said property. This would be like stating that if you struck oil on your land, it should become the property of the nearest oil company.
@@Kfruistik It's the principle of it. Doesn't matter if it was known or not. People who pay for property own it, and the contents thereof. This includes precious metals, oil, a crash UFO, or just clay and rocks. What is on your property is under your care, and in your possession. No one knows what's under the ground until they dig for it. Those bones are just a carcass on the property. A very special carcass, but a carcass none the less.
my aunt worked at the black hills institute. she was held at gun point for hours while they searched her work station, her car, and her purse. the second time the FBI showed up, she tore them all a new one for confiscating her groceries. she also had her mail withheld and her phones tapped. people now wonder why she has ptsd...
This pisses me off because it seems like the people who have the talent and the drive to discover these amazing finds are constantly getting screwed by the people who sit on their asses and just want to claim "ownership" after all the work is done and the so called "real" paleontologists are jealous they arent the ones out there discovering cool shit.
Wow! Born & raised 20 min south of Chicago and a lifelong visitor of the field museum. I had no idea of all the red tape & drama behind her. Private collectors are greedy & selfish!
Did you not listen to the video? A greedy scientist used the government to steal a specimen. The private collectors were well within their rights. The only thing that needed hashing out was whether they had paid the landowner for the specimen.
The auctioneers made three quarters of a million without even owning it while one of the fossil hunters who helped bring it out of the ground went to prison!! Jeez. When there's a feeding frenzy make sure you're one of the big sharks! Or T Rexes.
No matter how you look at it sue definitely deserved to be in the museum of South Dakota and Pete Larson and his team didn’t deserve to be treated like that, freakin Maurice Williams and fbi
Private collectors should not be allowed to own fossils. Fossils are best served being in scientific study and being put into public collections. Fossils being privately owned does nothing but fuel greed and selfishness.
I disagree. It takes a lot of work to look for, study and prepare specimens. People need to be compensated for their work. If anything either public collections should get the first shake at buying specimens or rules should be put in place for tracking and studying specimens in private collections, but robbing those who labor hard is theft, not justice. Would you rather the bones deteriorate as they are exposed to the elements because everyone is forbidden to look for or prepare them?
Kinda sad people fighting over money for dinosaur bones. Just the discovery is awesome. makes me wonder if bones of a dinosaur where found in the US. Is it possible remains could be under a building or a roadway, and you would never know or discover it because of a road or a structure on top of it.
Wait wait, it is a *"Law"* to collect Fossils with Permission. The People Living there didn't even Know Sue was Beneath their Feet, Heck it would Belong to Sue - The Human - as *She* Found it Edit: *HOLY CRAP HOW WOULD YOU BE STEALING FOSSILS FROM GOVERNMENT PROPERTY THEY DON'T EVEN KNIW THE FOSSIL IS THERE*
What a beautiful specimen. Showing proof of the past and extinction and evolution. Be in awe of the power of that land animal. Our little monkey brains wouldn't know how to contain it. Beautiful animal.
Idk about living in harmony with her environment, she had quite a few injuries including cracked ribs, a possibly torn right triceps, and what looks like a nasty parasitic infection of the lower jaw.
Lesson learnt if I find anything I’m not telling the government shyt until I see my bank account skyrocket or they can stay guessing what the hell I found
So Williams is the one who violated the law here. Why was he never charged. The prohibition is against selling items in trust without permission from the U.S. government. That's on Williams.
First time was 02' After flying from Billund via Amsterdam to Chicago Last visited fields in 18' She wasnt in her usual place but when i found her new spot she wasnt assembled
This is a sad story, indeed. One question to all those who can help me. I have read “Rex Appeal” and I have watched “Dinosaur 13”, but both are the version of the story from the perspective of the Black Hills Institute. I do not want to sound rude, but I believe that in order to have a clear picture of the whole story, one must hear both sides of it. Is there a book of some kind, or a documentary that tells the story from the State perspective?
So the owner of a ranch agreed to allow the fossil hunters to look around, a fossil is found, and the fed suddenly says "that's ours! Give it to us! You're criminals!"
Without them sue was probably gonna end up in a private mans store house it's better a museum had it where scientists could research it and people see it
Sue has her upper limbs put on backward. There is a long humerus bone that leads to the elbow joint. The elbow joint of T-Rex has a shield-like outcropping. The shield-like outcropping should be pointing to her back rather than her front. Which means the long humurus should be pointing to her back.
@@madisonjean47 The ability of people to greedily place their own goals and interests above the common good should not be underestimated. This holds true for most of the players in this drama.
this tragic story should show people how criminal the us government really is ! And actually , they have done so much worse and still do ! The us government should spend life in prison ! everyone of them !
They had to make an example of private bone collectors and their often less than professional handling of artifacts. they definitely went too far with this one though.
this isn't right, the design stinks, why would a animal that big have a left and right arm as big as mine with tiny hands, no its completely wrong, you all are getting punked, it looks more like a alligator who had a human for its meal
You can tell sex based on bones sometimes, there's a T. rex specimen that preserves evidence of medullary tissue, which is related to egg-laying and is only found in female archosaurs. But most skeletons aren't that well-preserved, so the best they can do is guess that maybe the dinos with crests are male or something. T. rex doesn't have a crest so there's even less to go on. They used to think the more robust specimens like Sue were female, and the more gracile ones male, but that's been largely debunked.
What is your favorite type of dinosaur?
stegosaurus
My in growing toenail .
Spinosaurus and Microraptor
Ankylosaurus carcharodontosaurus tyrannosaurus Rex brachiosaurus and Velociraptor
Majungasaurus
I bet Sue's life story would be fascinating, perhaps even heartbreaking. I find dinosaurs amazing.
And oddly they taste like chicken
Yeah they taste like chicken or turkey I always get them confused
They are amazing. Imagine living with them. Going camping would no longer be a leisurenfamily pastime .. it would be along the lines of sky diving, an adrenaline sport...

The hero of this story is Sue Henderson with out her this TRex would still be in the dirt and the rest of the world wouldn’t be able to lay their eyes on something as special as Sue the TRex.
Erosion probably would have destroyed her too.
So thats why the government had to go after her and her posse. To keep them from doing that again
once a fossil is exposed on the surface erosion will destroy it quickly.
Agree. What she did to bring Sue to the world's knowledge is really important and wonderful.
Poor Sue :(
I didn’t know that she had back problems, and survived from a leg fracture infection and even broken ribs :(

Actually a CT scan showed the leg was never broken. It was osteomyelitis, a bone infection. She also had gout!
