Bernie and Biden can probably identify it first-hand.

When this dinosaur a member of a new species named nodosaur was alive, it was an enormous four-legged herbivore protected by a spiky, plated armor and weighing in at approximately 3,000 pounds.
Today, the mummified nodosaur is so intact that it still weighs 2,500 pounds.
All of it solid rock, unlike when this dinosaur was alive. Not sure why the article writer thought this was a worthwhile point to make.
But quibbles aside, this is easily one of the greatest dinosaur discoveries ever made - glad they were able to restore the fossil for all to see.

Perfect Democrat presidential candidate. Lever this one in between Bernie and Biden.

This thing lived 110 million years ago, and every organic molecule in its body would have been replaced by minerals as it fossilized.

Well, THAT didnt take long. LOL. Been a while since old Helens been around.

Indeed, the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Alberta, Canada recently unveiled a dinosaur so well-preserved that many have taken to calling it not a fossil, but an honest-to-goodness dinosaur mummy.
![](https://www.archaeology-world.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/din-1.jpg)
With the creatures skin, armor, and even some of its guts intact, researchers are astounded at its nearly unprecedented level of preservation.
We dont just have a skeleton, Caleb Brown, a researcher at the Royal Tyrrell Museum, told National Geographic. We have a dinosaur as it would have been.
When this dinosaur - a member of a new species named nodosaur - was alive, it was an enormous four-legged herbivore protected by a spiky, plated armor and weighing in at approximately 3,000 pounds.
Today, the mummified nodosaur is so intact that it still weighs 2,500 pounds.
How the dinosaur mummy could remain so intact is still something of a mystery, although as CNN says, researchers suggest that the creature may have been swept away by a flooded river and carried out to sea, where it eventually sank.
Over millions of years on the ocean floor, minerals took the place of the dinosaurs armor and skin, preserving it in the lifelike form now on display.
Although the nodosaur dinosaur mummy was so well-preserved, getting it into its current display form was still an arduous undertaking.
The creature was, in fact, first discovered in 2011 when a crude oil mine worker accidentally discovered the specimen while on the job.
Since that lucky moment, it has taken researchers 7,000 hours over the course of the last six years to both tests the remains and prepare them for display at the Royal Tyrrell Museum, where visitors now have the chance to see the closest thing to a real-life dinosaur that the world has likely ever seen.

“Intact skin”? The article says it was fossilized so the skin has been replaced with rock.

Long before it occurred I predicted someone would clone a mammoth if they recovered one that had DNA.
You heard it here. Jurassic Park is on its way.
Scientists simply cannot restrain their curiosity

Damn, that’s life like and creepy.
In the face, it looks like the Godzilla from the Matthew Broderick movie.
