Tyrannosaurus rex: what we really know, from teeth and dung to tiny arms, sentence 13

Sue, found in South Dakota in 1990, is one of the most complete T. rex skeletons, with about 90 percent of the bones, a treasure because most dinosaurs are known only from a few bones; nobody knows whether Sue was male or female.

Who acts: Sue, nobody · What happens: find, be, know · To what, where: Sue, South Dakota, one, most dinosaurs, few bones · Speech: someone speaks here
