A blue scrap-metal Tyrannosaurus rex stands at 204 1st St. E in Faith, South Dakota, beside Highway 212. The recycled iron sculpture is by South Dakota sculptor John Lopez and was made to match the size of Sue, the T. rex skeleton found near Faith in 1990. Sue measured 42 feet long and was bought by Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History. Faith calls itself the "T. rex Capital of the World".
