Tyrannosaurus Rex was the supreme carnivore of its era and
represented the highest evolution of predatory dinosaurs. The
name means “tyrant lizard king” and there has never
been a land predator of its size, speed and power before or
after its existence. The study of T. Rex fossils discovered
in North America over the past century has revealed a carnivorous
monster that could range up to forty-five feet in length, weigh
20 tons and had a five-foot-long, thickly-muscled head with
powerful jaws. With its large serrated teeth, this was an animal
that was designed to tear huge chunks of flesh from its prey.
Combined with excellent vision, high intelligence and powerful
back legs with large talons, T. Rex was a predator of unparalleled
ability.
Krone presents Tyrannosaurus Rex, an exceptional writing instrument.
The cap features sculpted prehistoric fern leaves and a clip
reminiscent of the time period, crafted of antique bronze. Atop
the cap is an amber disc emblazoned with an etched depiction
of a T-Rex. The barrel’s alternating bands of Tiger’s
Eye marble and 10,000 year old mammoth ivory present a rich
contrast. The centermost band, depicting a T-Rex running toward
its prey, is mammoth ivory hand carved in relief.
The band at the base of the cap encapsulates a fragment of
an actual T-Rex tooth. This precious artifact was discovered
in the Hell Creek formation and is from a T-Rex that lived in
South Dakota approximately 67 million years ago.
