Laramie, Wyoming - Big copper T-Rex Some well-known sculptor built a copper (or bronze)
T-Rex in front of the U of Wyoming Geology Museum. I saw it being built
inside a wooden structure in the early 1960s. In the dark room, with only
the strip of light the open door allowed in, the T-Rex, almost finished,
was TERRIFYING (to this then-child, anyhow). [Eloise, 01/05/2001]
