    For some dinos but not all... I was going to post this as a new thread but what the hell :D Apparently, Tyrannosaurus rex skin has been found and shows a peebly but not scaly texture, rather similar to an elephant's skin. If this is the case, the T-Rex from Jurassic Park may not be that far from the real thing, texture-wise :pac:

    About as much as I loved some of Horner's theories regarding T-Rex. :D
