Amazing Dino Find

In case you haven’t heard, they’re researching a “mummified” dinosaur found by a 17-year old out in North Dakota. “Dakota” is a hadrosaur, a plant-eater preyed on by T-Rex, and not an uncommon find. However, it is shaping up to be the most complete dinosaur ever found. They found fossilized skin covered in scales and evidence of stripes. They are also discovering hadrosaurs were much more muscular than previously thought, walked low to the ground and could run up to 45 mph. This is an amazing find and if you’re at all interested in paleontology or have kids who are, you should hop over and read up on it: http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/536641/1479288 There are numerous stories out on it now, so I’m sure a standard web search will bring up even more information.
