Dinosaur Mummy Found

Posted by michael on from the daddy-still-missing dept.

sckienle writes "Although the dig was a year ago, MSNBC has an article about a very rare dinosaur find. It starts off with "A mummified dinosaur, unwrapped from the rocks of Montana, has revealed how the creature looked and how it lived 77 million years ago -- down to the texture of its skin and the contents of its stomach, scientists say." Unfortunately, the details are mostly missing in the article. This isn't the first mummified dinosaur found but it is the first in a long time."

    What I'm asking all the geeks here...

    Don't you realize that (we) geeks are largely unsuccessful at dating.
