Perfectly preserved dinosaur fossil looks like it was alive yesterday | The Nature of Things

The discovery is a completely intact armoured dinosaur, the fossil of a brand new species to science. This is no collection of dry bones. It's a truly extraordinary find: an in-tact dinosaur that lived during the mid-Cretaceous period. It looks as if it was walking around yesterday before being turned to stone. Borealopelta markmitchelli, as this species would later be named, is in pristine condition.
