Scientists Say Mummified Dinosaur Reveals Surprises
Author: Maggie Fox, Reuters Source: Yahoo
Title: SCIENTISTS SAY MUMMIFIED DINOSAUR REVEALS SURPRISES
A partially mummified hadrosaur discovered by a teenager in North Dakota may be the most complete dinosaur ever found, with intact skin that shows evidence of stripes and perhaps soft tissue, researchers said on Monday.
Enough of the animal remains to show it ran quickly and was far more muscular than scientists believed such dinosaurs were.
"It's sort of King Tut meets T. Rex," palaeontologist Phil Manning of the University of Manchester said in a telephone interview.
The creature is fossilized, with the skin and bone turned to stone. But unlike most dinosaur fossils, tissues are preserved as well.
This includes large expanses of the animal's skin, with clear remains of scales.

I wonder if they could find any DNA, not that I want a dino clone (Jurassic Park anyone? lol) , but studying dino DNA would be interesting.
I was really hoping to see a pic of the fossil. That would have been cool.
Peace and Love,
Deni :)

It's awesome what they find now...but I have to say that the juvinile in me loved the closing sentence the best....
"It could have crawled up the back passage of the animal, went to get the guts and ended up stuck,"
In my head I heard my inner teenager shout "HA now THATS getting into some pretty deep sh*t!!"
Sorry folks, but I really needed the light humour on this, the kind of day I am having today.
Peace.
