Sorry to be posting every ten seconds, but the internets are just so darned interesting today!

via National Geographic:

Scientists today announced the discovery of an extraordinarily preserved "dinosaur mummy" with much of its tissues and bones still encased in an uncollapsed envelope of skin.

duuuude.

A newly found "dino mummy" has exquisitely preserved bones, skin, and possibly muscle and internal organs, scientists have announced.

I cannot coherently express how cool this is, so SQUEEE!! Winningestofwinningthings!

I used to get this little monthly(?) newspaper for kids with all the latest paleontology news. There were some dino basics, and then the stuff that ended up in journals around the same time, with more pictures. I think they've gone digital now (print would have been around 1992). DinoTimes was amazing.

And *iconlove*

Re--the icon. Thank you! A friend made it for me. I feel all dressed up when I wear it.

That sounds like a really cool newsletter.

Oh Noes! Can hermaphroditic T Rex be far behind?

You know the young earthers will cite this as proof that dinosaurs coexisted with the Egyptians.

My goodness! Can you imagine the influx of dinosaur experts from all corners of the earth?

Actually, this reminds me of _The Enormous Egg_ by Oliver Butterworth. :-) :-)

Because hadrosaurs are clearly giant, mutant ducks, and ducks famously float?

This was the new model; it went up to 25, and I didn't think it would be tested quite so rigorously so soon. But it's pegged, now. Dayumn, as we say here at the south.
