I think this is cool.

Mummified Dinosaur

Imagine being able to hold a dinosaur scale in your hand. You'll be hearing a lot more about this because they've made a documentary and have written 2 books about it. To sum up, apparently this dinosaur actually fossilized/mummified faster than it could decompose.

So since that be the case they are able to deal with and study flesh, muscle, scales, and bones instead of just bones. It's so pristine that they can see how the dinosaur was colored, not so much specific colors but they can tell what kind of pattern it had because there are lines on the skin.

Read the article if you want more details. It'd be cool to be 16 years old and find one of the biggest dinosaur finds in history too.
