TYRANNOSAURUS REX

We¹re lucky to have the opportunity to know T. Rex, to study it, to imagine
it and to let it scare us. Most of all, we’re lucky T-Rex is dead.

John R. Horner and Don Lessen
The Complete T. Rex

Tyrannosaurus Rex was the supreme carnivore of its era and represented the
highest evolution of predatory dinosaurs. The name means “tyrant lizard
king” and there has never been a land predator of its size, speed and power
before or after its existence. The study of T. Rex fossils discovered in
North America over the past century has revealed a carnivorous monster that
could range up to forty-five feet in length, weigh 20 tons and had a
five-foot-long, thickly-muscled head with powerful jaws. With its large
serrated teeth, this was an animal that was designed to tear huge chunks of
flesh from its prey. Combined with excellent vision, high intelligence and
powerful back legs with large talons, T. Rex was a predator of unparalleled
ability.

Krone presents Tyrannosaurus Rex, an exceptional writing instrument.



The cap features sculpted prehistoric fern leaves and a clip reminiscent of
the time period, crafted of antique bronze. Atop the cap is an amber disc
emblazoned with an etched depiction of a T-Rex. The barrel’s alternating
bands of Tiger’s Eye marble and 10,000 year old mammoth ivory present a rich
contrast. The centermost band, depicting a T-Rex running toward its prey,
is mammoth ivory hand-carved in relief.

The band at the base of the cap encapsulates a fragment of an actual T-Rex
tooth. This precious artifact was discovered in the Hell Creek formation
and is from a T-Rex that lived in South Dakota approximately 67 million
years ago.

Available in a worldwide Limited Edition of 188 fountain pens and 38
rollerballs, both with bronze accents. Also available, are 18 fountain pens
with Rose Gold accents, featuring delicate and beautiful petrified wood
bands instead of Tiger’s Eye marble.
