Great Falls Tribune => Mummified Brachylophosaurus holds secrets millions of years old
A couple months ago, I reported about Leonardo, the most amazingly preserved fossil. Leonardo mummified before fossilizing, making him an unbelievably preserved specimen, complete with tissue that normally does not fossilize, like his beak, his toenails, skin and even the contents of his stomach!
Now, they’ve begun the painstaking process of X-raying the entire mummy. With the technology available, it’s quite possible that the organs are still intact and can be revealed through the X-rays.
The Discovery channel is spending 10 months making a documentary on it. I can hardly wait!
