Neutron imaging reveals Scotty, the largest T. rex, died from a rib injury in a dinosaur fight

Scientists used neutron imaging at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to examine Scotty, the 43-foot, 19,500-pound Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton found in Saskatchewan in 1991, preserving tissue on the bone. 3D images showed Scotty died from a cracked rib sustained during a fight with another dinosaur, with mineralised blood vessels around the wound indicating a healing response that wasn’t enough to save him. The researchers hope these methods will unlock more prehistoric secrets.

Shore Leave Goes Psychedelic: Scotty and Ortegas Bond on Cesnar Grand

In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 4 episode “Human Best Friend,” Scotty and Ortegas are forced into a much more chaotic shore leave at the Cesnar Grand resort, where a psychedelic, tech‑free atmosphere tests their patience and sparks a surprising buddy‑comedy dynamic between them. Spock hallucinates James Kirk while Una and M’Benga join in the hijinks, a sabotaged shuttle and a bomb threaten a peace negotiation, and the crew must work together to save their mission. The chaotic night ultimately strengthens Scotty–Ortegas friendship and deepens Spock’s bond with Kirk, showing the crew’s lighter side without losing the series’ core warmth and character depth.
