Dinosaur Fossil Found With Preserved Soft Tissue 248
damn_registrars writes "A fossilized hadrosaur has been uncovered in South Dakota that has preserved soft tissue. This is described as a "mummified" dinosaur, and allows for a look at the skin and musculature of some parts of this animal. The find was reported by a 24 year old Yale graduate student of paleontology."

Also, since I just watched Bender's Big Score repeatedly, "It's DOLOMITE, baby!"
You see, beneath the fossil's crunchy, mineral shell, there's still a creamy core of hadrosaur nougat!

However, not all scientists applaud the finding, with polymath and host of the popular science show Infinite Solutions Mark Erickson criticizing that this finding will further reduce the scientific community's interest in tiny dinosaurs, which he describes as sadly overlooked.

So is science so jacked up that they have THAT much of a difference?
Yet noone can believe this book we have that lays it all out for us.

story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution, we do not

Yes, but all you have to do is cast Stone to Flesh on the fossil to bring it back to life. Quickly, before they release the Fourth Edition of D&D, for you never know if this particular spell will be removed !
