I find this stuff fascinating, and the comments in the story are hilarious as a bonus.

You can’t even see its bones, yet scientists are hailing it as perhaps the best-preserved dinosaur specimen ever unearthed. That’s because, 110 million years later, those bones remain covered by the creature’s intact skin and armor.

Looks roughly like an anklyosaur, which was my favorite.
How did the flesh survive all those years though?

That's the best pictures they can show?  If I had a fully intact mummified dinosaur, I'd have some better pictures.

It didn't. It's still a fossil. A cacophony of rare events caused the skin to be fossilized.

Over millions of years on the ocean floor, minerals took the place of the dinosaur’s armor and skin, preserving it in the lifelike form now on display.

Calling it a mummy is crappy reporting.

I remember when they found that dinosaur heart years ago and dissected it (and IRRC, found it to be similar structurally to a bird's heart) and how big of a deal that was.  I think some years before that they had also found eggs with the dinosaurs still intact inside, with skin, or something like that, which was also pretty huge.

IME most of the people posting shit like that here are trolls.  They seem to love trying to derail stuff like this.  Note how early it started in this thread.

I'm guessing they're trying to get traffic into the museum. Best pic a 30 second google search could come up with. Probably a lot better ones out there
