How about that!?

Mr. Mark Mitchell should get some kind of award foe patience!

Perhaps in the future when other dino fossils are found, others can use his technique to uncover similar features.

Come on! Where’s the obligatory picture of Helen Thomas?

This is partly why I support term limits.

Looks crocodilian.

Looks like road kill. I had never heard of the Royal Tyrell Museum. It is huge and a long way from anywhere I’ve been in Alberta. Quite amazing in itself. The world continues to amaze and be full of discovery. Thanks for the post.

Reminds me of the Burgess Shale.

I am guessing this was found in a similar material so tight it could keep oxygen from feeding microbial decomposition. one wonders how he got it off the skin.

Amazing.

I thought this was going to be about Joe Biden.

I went to the article to learn where the specimen had been originally discovered, but it does not say. Canada where the museum is located?

I watched a show about this earlier in the week.

Can’t recall which app.

This might be the fossil that showed that this herbivore was pursued by carnivores. Uhh, d’oh. But, no evidence before this.
It shows that the skin on top was darker than skin on belly. This is a characteristic of all hunted animals — the difference in shading sorta breaks up the profile outline to a carnivore. Animals that aren’t so hunted are the same shade all over — see elephants, rhinos, etc.

I don’t see the difficulty of finding one. If you want to find another one look at Jupiter Island in Florida.

That’s quite the gray beard. It must have been a wizasoarus.

looking at that skin, I can imagine looking at a dragon.
