Unclear tag[edit]

I had a look at the wording of the display section, and changed a bit, but both the original and my revised version imply that it's the same cast at the various locations (as if it's on tour). That doesn't seem right, but I've never paid much attention to the comings and goings of exhibitions, so I didn't want to change more. Usually, I'd delete the whole section as inherently unmanageable and of marginal notability, but I didn't feel like being "that guy" today. J. Spencer (talk) 00:22, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

These are very likely all separate casts on permanent exhibition. Given the fact that the article is about a single specimen, the location of his casts seems to be relevant information. People visit museums, encounter a Tyrannosaurus skeleton and afterwards want to know of which particular specimen it has been a copy.--MWAK (talk) 13:12, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
