Two awesome things in one -- dinosaurs and mummies!
Quoted: Using tiny brushes and chisels, workers picking at a big greenish-black rock in the basement of North Dakota's state museum are meticulously uncovering something amazing: a nearly complete dinosaur, skin and all.
Unlike almost every other dinosaur fossil ever found, the Edmontosaurus named Dakota, a duckbilled dinosaur unearthed in southwestern North Dakota in 2004, is covered by fossilized skin that is hard as iron. It's among just a few mummified dinosaurs in the world, say the researchers who are slowly freeing it from a 65-million-year-old rock tomb.

Dinosaur soft-tissue has been found, perhaps even with red blood cells intact.

I need some help to find out about a gift my son was given for Christmas. He was given Roscoe the Robotic Frog. It is made by Manley Toy Quest. It works and looks like my son will love it on Christmas morning. My problem is that I am unable to find any information about this toy online, not even on the Toy Quest web site.

so cool! i remember a teacher in grade school saying to us, "everything we know about dinosaurs is an educated guess. for all we know, they could've had pink skin with purple polka dots." guess this proves her wrong, ha.
