Book
Dinosaur mummies : beyond bare-bone fossils / by Kelly Milner Halls ; illustrations by Rick Spears.
Learn about rare dinosaur fossils: the "dinosaur mummies" that are not just bones and teeth, but also include fossilized soft tissues, like skin, muscle and internal organs and what they can reveal about prehistoric life. A discussion of dinosaur mummies includes the discovery of "Leonardo," a juvenile duckbill Brachylophosaurus fossil found in Montana in 2000 who was so well preserved that the patterns on his skin could still be seen after seventy-seven million years.
