Dinomummy

The fossilized duckbilled hadrosaur (nicknamed "Dakota") still has intact skin, ligaments, tendons, and possibly even some organs...and it gives scientists an unparalleled look a dinosaur anatomy. Paleontologist Dr. Philip Manning of Manchester University in England is studying Dakota.

Dr. Manning appears in the TV special "Dino Autopsy," premiering on the National Geographic Channel on Sunday, Dec. 9, at 8 pm EST/9 pm PT.

Grave Secrets of Dinosaurs by Dr. Phil Manning is available for purchase at amazon.com

This is such a great find! I was fascinated with dinosaurs as a child and wanted to be a paleontologist. I grew out of that desire, but I'm still fascinated by them.
