Rare Badlands dino makes voyage to Japan

From: www.ap.org

Dakota the duckbilled dinosaur is a hit in Japan after making its biggest trip ever. The 67-million-year-old Edmontosaurus with fossilized skin, found in North Dakota's Badlands a decade ago, has been on display in Chiba, Japan, since July. But getting the 5-ton mummified specimen there has been a mammoth task. Dakota has done little traveling since Tyler Lyson, a doctoral paleontology student at Yale University, discovered the dinosaur on his uncle's ranch near Marmarth, in southwestern North Dakota, in 1999. Lyson said Dakota has been the highlight of the "Dinosaur 2009 — Miracle of the Desert" show, which features 260 specimens of featured fossilized ... Read Full Story

Dinosaur Skin - What Did It Look Like?

Written by

From: christiannature.blogspot.com

Before the Great Flood of Noah, what did our forefathers see when confronted with a dinosaur? What did dinosaur skin look like? What were their babies like? Biblical history places the creation of the great land living dinosaurs on the same day as man was created. That means that there is little doubt that at least some of the people we read about in the Bible saw dinosaurs. Many modern creationists think that Job's description of Leviathan actually describes some sort of dinosaur. Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, or snare his tongue with a line which you lower? His undersides are ... Read Full Story

Scientists Get Rare Glimpse of Life 65 Million Years Ago By NED POTTER Dec. 4, 2007 The world of 65 million years ago is filled with mystery, especially because scientists have little to go on but bones. But buried in a remote corner of North Dakota was a remarkably well-preserved dinosaur with fossilized skin, ligaments and tendons. You can even see scales on its side. The specimen turned out to be a duck-billed plant eater called a hadrosaur. Tyler Lyson, the young scientist who found the fossil, said, "The skin hadn't collapsed in around the bone, and at that point I knew that we ... Read Full Story

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — 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. "This is the closest many people will ever get to seeing what large ... Read Full Story

'Duck-billed' Dinosaurs: Last European Hadrosaurs Lived In Iberian Peninsula

Spanish researchers have studied the fossil record of hadrosaurs, the so-called "duck-billed" dinosaurs, in the Iberian Peninsula for the purpose of determining that they were the last of their kind to inhabit the European continent before disappearing during the K/T extinction event that occurred 65.5 million years ago. Most notable among these fossils is the discovery of a new hadrosaur, the Arenysaurus ardevoli, found in Huesca, Spain.
