A recent discovery of a dinosaur mummy left archaeologists in awe. It seems to be the best-preserved dinosaur mummy that has ever been found, and this can be noticed from its looks which still has an intact skin armor.
The fossil was found by pure accident, while miners were drilling in Canada, and it is thought to be more than 110 million years old. The mummy was placed in the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology in Alberta, Canada and after careful examination, it was discovered that the skin hides the well-preserved and intact guts of the animal. This is something scientists have never seen before, and they managed to easily reconstruct the looks of the dinosaur with the help of technology.
This seems to be a part of the Nodosauridae species, which were large herbivores weighing 3,000 pounds. The recently found fossil weighs around 2,500 pounds so it is extremely well preserved even after millions of years.
What might have contributed to its preservation are the minerals that were found on the dinosaur’s skin and armor which might come from the ocean.
It is believed that the fossil sank in the ocean a long time ago and this contributed to its preservation long after its death.

Here’s a great and delicious snack, that you’re kids will surely adore. Hot dog mummies, don’t look as scary as they sound, they are rather fun and delicious at the same time. It can also be a great snack for this year’s Halloween party. First make a dough, you can use the recipes for bread dough. Take the hot dogs and cover them just like in the picture with the dough, so they will look a lot like mummies. Put them on a tray and place them in the oven. Bake until they get a light gold color. Now comes the fun part: paint some eyes onto the „mummy” with mustard or tomate and they are ready to be served. Aren’t they cute?
