Recently Discovered "Mummified" Dinosaur Is So Well-Preserved It Even Has The Skin And Guts Intact (Photos & Video)
Since long years, Scientists have struggled to confirm what dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures may have looked like when they were alive. One researcher Who involved discovery said that; “We don’t just have a skeleton,” one said. “We have a dinosaur as it would have been.” Scientists are hailing it as the best-preserved dinosaur specimen ever discovered. That’s why you cannot see its bones – they remain covered by intact skin and armor.
The researchers examining the find were astounded at its nearly unprecedented level of preservation. The creature's skin, armor, and even some of its guts were intact – something they'd never seen before. "You don't need to use much imagination to reconstruct it; if you just squint your eyes a bit, you could almost believe it was sleeping," one researcher said. Previously, only nodosaur skeletons have been discovered, which look like this: Nodosaur bones at Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land, Fort Bend Co., Texas. Image credit: fossilmike
