While dinosaur fossils are a great find for scientists, dinosaur mummies are extraordinary. Rather than just bones, a so-called ‘dino mummy’, which contains fossilized soft tissue, can reveal dinosaur skin, muscle, and internal organs.
A video explains why finding a dinosaur mummy like Dakota in “Dino Autopsy” is such a boon for paleontologists.
Unlike fossils, scientists can get a look at what dinosaurs’ soft tissue may have looked like.
