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. View Quote |

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

It's been around for a while now but it's still cool every time I see it.

Wasn't Nodo Dino's long lost brother on a Flintstones episode?

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

An honest-to-god Jesus pony with skin and everything. Amazing.

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.
