Tyrannosaurus rex was one species in a family of predatory dinosaurs (Tyrannosauridae) that
lived during the Cretaceous (66–68 MYA) and walked on two legs. T. rex was the largest
tyrannosaurid dinosaur. Like other tyrannosaurs, they had wide heads and long, thick tails.
Old drawings of T. rex showed it standing upright. Further analysis of the body form and weight
balance led paleontologists to conclude that its body was parallel to the ground. The chunky tails served to counterbalance its large head. The business of the Department of Paleobiology at the National Museum of Natural History is using fossils to understand patterns and processes in the history of life. The Department has been one of the top research bodies of extinct life since its founding in 1963. Today our fossil collections contain about 40 million fossil specimens.
