Tyrannosaurus rex Moonlight T-Shirt — Plate 001

A calm, powerful Tyrannosaurus rex walks a moonlit riverbank, drawn the modern way: scaly lips cover its teeth, two-fingered arms, tail held level.

Plate 001 of the Deep Time Atlas: museum-style paleo-art of Tyrannosaurus rex, reconstructed from fossil evidence and current research.
