Age: “Dinosaur preserved for all time
Move over, ice man. Scientists have found a 77-million-year-old dinosaur so well preserved they’re calling it a mummy.
Most of the leathery skin on this creature, discovered two years ago in Montana where there are a number of fossil sites, is intact, though turned to mineral.
Its throat and shoulder muscle are still there. Its face retains traces of its nail-like beak. Its discoverers even say it contains the remnants of its last meal, a half-digested mass of plant material.”
