Meet Bexhill Museum’s Latest Arrival
Meet Bexhill Museum’s newest arrival - and the first visitors to see it: a replica Tyrannosaurus rex skull, bought for the museum by our ambassador Suzy Eddie Izzard. The skull is a scientifically precise copy of an original discovered in Montana in 2015 and the most complete T. Rex skull yet found. The dinosaur was about 15 years old when it died, around 66 million years ago. See its fearsome teeth, take a photograph beside it, follow the children’s holiday dinosaur trail and discover real local fossils, including Joyce, Bexhill’s own iguanodon, found in nearby Turkey Road. |
