mummified dinosaur


Workers were looking for fossils and ended up finding a full body dinosaur with the skin still on it. The skin is as hard as iron. They found it in a 65,ooo,ooo year old rock tomb and say that this is the closest people will ever get to seeing what large parts of dinosaurs actually look like, in the flesh. Experts also say that animal tissue typically decomposes quickly after death. So the Dinosaur, called an Edmontosaurus, must have been buried rapidly and in just the right enviorment for the skin to be perserved. This is the 4th dinosaur mummy that has ever been found in the world of any signifiicance. Researcher say that is one of the best mummys.
