'Stunningly preserved' dinosaur 'mummies' discovered in Wyoming have skin and hooves - ABC News
October 30, 2025 - When the specimens were first discovered in coarse, oxygenated river deposits, scientists assumed they were fossilized skin texture and body parts. But further examination of the original skeletons -- as well as the findings of two more mummified E. annectens, a juvenile and an adult -- proved otherwise. ... The late juvenile E. annectens is the first subadult dinosaur mummy and the first large-bodied dinosaur with a "fully preserved fleshly outline," including a neck and trunk crest.

October 23, 2025 - Sereno, lead study author and a professor of organismal biology and anatomy at the University of Chicago, described the initial discovery as โ€œthe greatest dinosaur mummy โ€” until maybe the juvenile that we foundโ€ in the year 2000. Separated by nearly a century, Sereno and his teamโ€™s find shared common traits with Sternbergโ€™s: The skeletons were preserved in three-dimensional poses and showed clear evidence of skin and other attributes that donโ€™t usually survive 66 million years in the ground.

This is amazing, thought I would share!

"In 2011, archaeologists uncovered one of the most โ€” if not the most โ€” pristine dinosaur fossils yet: a near-whole ankylosaur, complete with its jagged spikes, most of its limbs, armor coating, and some of its guts and stomach contents. The most amazing detail, though? Its uncannily preserved face and skin.

Now, scientists at the University of Toronto have found the oldest fossilized skin known so far, at least 21 million years older than the previous record-holder for any animal.
