BOISE, Idaho — A prehistoric predator will soon be on display at the Discovery Center of Idaho.
Archaeologists unearthed a Tyrannosaurus rex now dubbed "Tinker" 22 years ago in South Dakota.
Discovery Center education director Emily Mahon said Tinker's remains make up the most complete juvenile T-rex skeleton ever found.
Tinker's actual bones are at a museum in West Virginia.
The display in Boise is a cast of the dinosaur's skeleton.
Still, Mahon says the exhibit will help teach everyone about prehistoric times in the Gem State.
"To think of T-rexes, here in Idaho, running down Myrtle Street way before Myrtle Street was even here is exciting to think of," Mahon said.
Chevron is the presenting sponsor of the 1,000 square-foot "Tinker the T-rex" exhibit, which opens Friday.
In a media release put out in May, the Discovery Center calls it a "long-term" exhibition.
The Discovery Center's hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and Noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
It will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
