About the event

The Mystery of the Holes in SUE’s Jaw

Celebrate the Summer of SUE with a special Meet a Scientist event investigating the holes found in SUE's lower jaw! 🦖

Join paleontologist Jingmai O’Connor, Curator of Fossil Reptiles, as she shares some of the mysteries about SUE the T. rex scientists are continuing to solve, and hear how she and her team were able to prove one of the most popular theories about the cause of holes in their lower jaw–that they suffered an infection from a protozoan parasite–couldn’t be true. 🧑‍🔬
