Why is the fossil record not full of transitional fossils?

Wouldn’t species always be evolving? Example: Why do we find a couple of dozen T-Rex skeletons and not all the evolving stages that lead to the T. Rex over millions of years? And are those specimens classified as different species?

Every fossil is a transitional fossil. Every living being is an intermediary step in it’s species evolution. The changes can be subtle enough that they are barely noticeable between one generation and the next because it can take many generations over millions of years to see actual structural or anatomical changes that are visible at a macro level
