The girlfriend and I were just at that museum. I saw that dinosaur but didn't take a picture. Here is a stegosaurus they have:

Probably as much as I dare quote:



On the afternoon of March 21, 2011, a heavy-equipment operator named Shawn Funk was carving his way through the earth, unaware that he would soon meet a dragon.

That Monday had started like any other at the Millennium Mine, a vast pit some 17 miles north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, operated by energy company Suncor. Hour after hour Funk’s towering excavator gobbled its way down to sands laced with bitumen—the transmogrified remains of marine plants and creatures that lived and died more than 110 million years ago. It was the only ancient life he regularly saw. In 12 years of digging he had stumbled across fossilized wood and the occasional petrified tree stump, but never the remains of an animal—and certainly no dinosaurs.

But around 1:30, Funk’s bucket clipped something much harder than the surrounding rock. Oddly colored lumps tumbled out of the till, sliding down onto the bank below. Within minutes Funk and his supervisor, Mike Gratton, began puzzling over the walnut brown rocks. Were they strips of fossilized wood, or were they ribs? And then they turned over one of the lumps and revealed a bizarre pattern: row after row of sandy brown disks, each ringed in gunmetal gray stone.
I wonder if they accidentally destroyed the rear part of it. If so, glad it was the rear and not the head and torso.

A few years ago they found a dinosaur fossil that still had actual tissue.

Based on blood vessels in the bones, and pelvis structure we know many dinosaurs were bird based. Birds grow scales and feathers. Simple hormonal changes in the egg cause beaks to turn into "snout and teeth" (see vertebrate embryology 101), so the DNA is still present. What else can we unlock with the right hormone at the right time?

Who else wants to go T-Rex hunting?



I'm not sure what the primary weapon would be, but...

backup is a bow and arrow, so you can shoot your guide in the knee.

A 3000 pound herbivore.

Either it ate most of the hours in a day to maintain that body size through an herbivore diet, or the quality of the plants it did eat was extremely high.  Or, digestion was extremely efficient.

That's a lot of weight to fuel every day.

I saw a documentary about something like this once. They used the preserved dna in the fossil and mixed it with an amphibians dna (making sure they were all the same sex so reproduction is impossible) last I saw they were real close to creating a living dinosaur. Had to shut it off early though, the hot pockets we're done..

Shit was all trees back then, yo.

We weren't exactly Hunter gathering to build small log cabins in the woods to escape from our McMansions in the city back then. Assuming monkey people were around back then, I don't keep up with that stuff.

There was one guy who was serious as hell and told me here with a straight face that all the dinosaur fossils were from extinct species of whales killed in Noah's flood.

They can put those in a CT or MRI scanner and image preserved structures before cutting in.
