Scientists have found the mummy of a dinosaur, almost fully intact including skin and……….. its face. Being a mummy, everything is all shriveled up, but I’m thinking this thing looked like a dragon you’d see Game Of Thrones. They actually found this thing in 2010, but it took them 7 years to slowly chip away at the stone it was encased in to get it all out. Then it took another couple years to piece it all together. But what’s a decade when you consider that the dinosaur was probably walking around 100 million years ago.
Almost the entirety of this dinosaur—the skin, the armor that coats its skin, most of its body and feet, even its face—survived fossilization, amounting to what’s been called a one-in-a-billion find: https://t.co/2plvVTcCqa
