First ‘mummified’ hooved dinosaur in Wyoming Badlands discovered, redefining prehistoric evolution
Wyoming's badlands have yielded two mummified duck-billed dinosaur fossils, revealing the first-ever evidence of hooves in dinosaurs. These 66-million-year-old Edmontosaurus specimens, preserved with remarkable detail including skin texture and limb structure, offer unprecedented insights into their anatomy and how they navigated their environment, significantly advancing our understanding of prehistoric life and adaptation.
