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.

This way they found out that the nodosaur's coloring was a dark reddish brown on the top of the body – and lighter on the underside. Since this dinosaur was an herbivore, its skin color must have played a role in protecting it from the enormous carnivores present at the time. And the fact that we're talking about a massive, heavily-armored dinosaur illustrates just how dangerous those predators must have been… Technician Mark Mitchell prepping the Nodosaur.
