‘Dinosaur Mummy’ Emerges From the Oil Sands of Alberta

Amazing find from Canada.

The animal probably died as it lived — defying predators with its heavy armor and size — and after 110 million years, its face remains frozen in a ferocious reptilian glare.

Really good shape, and makes you want to see how this beast lived and acted.

“It’s basically a dinosaur mummy — it really is exceptional,” said Don Brinkman, director of preservation and research at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. The dinosaur, with fossilized skin and gut contents intact, came from the Millennium Mine six years ago in the oil sands of northern Alberta, once a seabed.

I also wonder how many of these fossils get ground up and "used"?

Looks like a dragon! I said it.

It does, I wonder if any of these things were around and the Knight of the round table time frame wrote about them.

This dinosaur has aged better than hillary buttface clinton.

Yeah, i said it...all of you were thinking it!

The only difference is this "dragon" is useful.

As the instigator of this arguement I have every right to
hit the front door and disappear around the nearest corner.

I'm glad it was only an internet rip-off. I was afraid you had been literally burned, like by fire, or something!
