I also invite you to check out the University of California Museum of
Paleontology in Berkeley the next time you're in town.  Their _Tyrannosaurus_
mount is also very pretty.  I think it is a cast based on a Museum of the 
Rockies
specimen, possibly the "The Complete _T. rex_" specimen, profiled in the book of
the same name by Jack Horner and Don (Sorry, Brian!) Lessem.  Surf on over to
<www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/trex/specialtrex2.html>.  You can also see archived shots
of the work in progress at the UCMP web site.

The UCMP is primarily an education and research facility, but they do have a few
nice casts and fossils on display in their public halls.
