Tyrannosaurus lived about 65 to 70 million years ago, in the late Cretaceous Period. T. rex was among the last of the big dinosaurs. Like all non-bird dinosaurs, T. rex lived in the Mesozoic era. Tyrannosaurus is believed to have lived in forests, near rivers, and in areas that were open and full of prey.
Other important technical advances in the history of photography, included the following. Photoetching was invented in 1822-5 by the Frenchman Joseph Niepce (1765-1833), who also made the first photograph from nature in 1826.
He invented photography, by noticing, exploiting, and refining chemical reactions caused by light to produce permanent images. He began his work in 1813, and made the first negative photographic image in 1816, though the image was not permanent and faded quickly.
