Jane is a renowned juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil discovered in the Hell Creek Formation in southern Montana. After four years of preparation, Jane is now on display as the centerpiece of a new exhibit at Rockford, Illinois' Burpee Museum of Natural History called "Jane: Diary of a Dinosaur." She was 11 years old at death. Visitors are able to discover what happened during the 66 million years she lay buried, visit a re-creation of the expedition’s Montana base camp, and view Jane’s fully restored 21.5-foot long skeleton.
