Mummified Dinosaur Unearthed in North Dakota

Very cool story about a mummified dinosaur. It’s amazing the that something like that can exist after so long. Back when I was a kid, I said I was going to be a paleontologist for quite some time. Carter is now saying the same thing (depending on the day you ask him). I guess at that age we’re fascinated by the fact that “monsters” were real at some point in time.

Heck, I’m still fascinated by Dinosaurs some 30-years later.

The Edmontosaurus found in 2004 is covered in fossilized skin as hard as iron. Workers are slowly unearthing the dinosaur from its 65-million-year-old tomb. Dinosaur may give us the closest example of what dinosaurs looked like. It is the fourth dinosaur mummy of significance ever found in the world.
