She was big. She was scary. And she was dead.

But she was not forgotten.

“A mere 22 years ago, fossil hunter Susan Hendrickson discovered three huge bones jutting out of a cliff near Faith, South Dakota,” says History.com.

The bones turn out to be “largest-ever Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever discovered.”

Her name was Sue and she was 65 million-years-old.

We celebrate this auspicious anniversary by bringing to you some of Etsy’s fine T-Rex-based art. If you like the stuff, go out and buy it! Tell them the Daily Dot sent you.
