The scales are still visible on the fossilised skin

Excellent news. Finally science will be able to answer the age-old question about dinosaurs: did they taste like chicken?
To: Fred Nerks
Upon close examination it still breathed after 67 million years.
LOL!
Sorry Fred, couldn't resist. Seriously, this find is amazing, as is the honeycomb structure of the skin!

Must have been buried very quickly when it died. Like in some great flood.

The scales are still visible on the fossilised skin "There is depth and structure to the skin. The level of detail expressed in the skin is just breathtaking." "That's a good-looking mummy" to-ask-out-on-a-date-when-you-can't-lick-a-frog ping.

I wish these articles would tell the whole story, like for instance all the results they toss out in the dating scheme in order to arrive at the desired date.
In other words, intact soft tissue should be an indicator that maybe 67 million years might be wrong.

The preservation allowed scientists to estimate that it was more muscular than thought, perhaps giving it the ability to outrun predators like T. rex. Since T-rex was unable to run at all I guess that would not be too hard.

YEC INTREP - maybe the specimen is not 67 million years old!
