I bet it was difficult runing when you are mummified.

What’s up with the recent news reports on animals mummifying their dead. Sheesh a mummy and mummification and a well preserved dead animal are two different things.

Lambeosaurus: duck-billed dinosaur (hadrosaur) notable for the hatchet-shaped hollow bony crest on top of its skull. Fossils of this herbivore date to the Late Cretaceous Period (99 million to 65 million years old) of North America. Lambeosaurus was first discovered in 1914 in the Oldman Formation, Alberta, Canada. |

I bet it was difficult runing Yes, I know you caught the typo, but you are still correct.
It is very difficult to rune, mummified or not, when you haven't invented language yet.

The article is incorrect in one area. It states that Dakota weighed 3 1/2 tons. . . but the National Geographic site says it was 35 tons, one order of magnitude greater.

I tried to preorder the kids book, DinoMummy, but Amazon.com hasn’t got it listed. Would be a great Christmas present. Anybody know where I can get it?
To: NormsRevenge
Recent opinion places T Rex in the slow scavenger category. So what is the point here? Nice fossils, BTW.

The fossilized duckbilled hadrosaur is so well preserved that scientists have been able to calculate its muscle mass and learn that it was more muscular than thought, probably giving it the ability to outrun predators such as T. rex.
Unless of course the T. rex was also more muscular than thought... Speculations like this just kill me.
