3 fingered T. rex?

["Dino Guy Ralph" <ralph.miller@alumni.usc.edu>]

One of the news stories at www.dinosaurnews.org discusses "Peck's rex,"
which is said to have many interesting details, including a furcula and a
3rd metacarpal.  Freelance dinosaur buff Thomas Hoelmer states: "Every _T.
rex_ picture or skeleton that doesn't have the third finger is wrong."
!!!!!

A cast of the skeleton is being unveiled this weekend at the Fort Peck Dam
Interpretive Center and Museum in Fort Peck, Montana.  For information about
