FedEx delivers T-Rex skeleton
FedEx transported a rare Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton from the Museum of the Rockies in Montana to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.
The 65 million-year-old fossil, named The Nation’s T-Rex, will be on display at the Smithsonian where it is on loan for 50 years. It is intended to be the centrepiece of the new dinosaur hall at the Museum, which receives more than 7 million visitors annually.
Measuring 38 feet long and weighing seven tons, the T-Rex made the journey from Montana to Washington, D.C., on a FedEx Custom Critical truck.
Throughout the four-day journey, proactive monitoring and visibility were provided through ShipmentWatch, a new FedEx Custom Critical Service that utilises SenseAware devices to observe the shipment’s defined specifications such as temperature, humidity, light exposure and barometric pressure while in transit.
