Researchers in Canada have discovered parts of what they believe to be a full "dinosaur mummy" lodged in a hillside. The two exposed fossils, a foot and part of a tail clad in fossilized skin, are believed to belong to a juvenile duck-billed Hadrosaur dinosaur that died somewhere between 77 million to 75 million years ago, roughly 10 million years before dinosaurs went extinct, researchers said. Scientists began excavation of the site to remove the entire remains from the hill. “It’s so well preserved you can see the individual scales, we can see some tendons and it looks like there’s going to be skin over the entire animal,” Brian Pickles, a paleontologist and ecology professor at the University of Reading, told USA TODAY. If the remains are in as good of shape as Pickles hopes, it would be one of the best preserved dinosaur fossils ever discovered. Read more by clicking the link in our bio.
