Display #12:
  Hadrosaur skull

Just obtained in fall of 2005, this beautiful skull cast (over 3 feet long!) has T-rex teeth marks all over it.  It's intriguing for a variety of reasons.  Here's we can say with some confidence:

-the T-rex was probably scavenging, and bit the skull while the flesh was still on the bone because the bone was clearly still soft.
-the tooth marks match those of a T-rex and is also the only animal known with big enough jaws to make such marks

-some have argued that evidence of scavenging is evidence against a flood, because there wouldn't be time for scavening.  When reading the bible however, you find out that it took 40 days to submerge the earth - almost a month and a half!  That's a long time, and somebody's going to get hungry in that time.

-then why would a T-rex, if it was a plant eater, munch on a hadrosaur skull?  First, a T-rex, contrary to common belief, simply cannot handle meat - it would definitely rip its own teeth out trying to eat meat.  Take a good look at a T-rex skull whenever you get the chance, you'll see why.  It is also clear that the T-rex merely bit the skull, but didn't eat it - there's no scraping marks from the teeth where it would've scraped the meat off the bone.  Lastly, under duress and possibly with a lack of plant matter during the onset of the flood, it may have tried to eat meat out of sheer hunger and desperation.
