Tyrannosaurus rex, legendary specimen AMNH 5021, discovered in 1908 and now displayed at the American Museum of Natural History, NY.
It is actually a composite mount, the long legs belonging to another specimen (casts from CM 9380, then AMNH 973, discovered in 1902). It was used as reference for the Jurassic Park logo and T.rex individual, immortalising the high legs and posture image for Tyrannosaurus rex, when it was in fact shorter and stockier.
