T. rex tie, multicoloured/black

This Dino, soars!  Although a tiny departure from our usual public health related subjects, this hugely colourful T.rex design (check out a peek of Rex at the bottom of the tie), created and copyrighted especially for the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, MT, stays true to our science-based themes.  Who knew dino bone could look this good!?

The design is based on a Tyrannosaurus rex histology slide used to study fossil bone microstructure.  Curated by Jack Horner, the Museum of the Rockies' Paleontology Department includes the Gabriel Laboratory for Cellular and Molecular Paleontology, which hosts the most extensive dinosaur paleohistology program in the world.
