Miners from Canada accidentally found a very unusual mummy

In 2011, the very well-preserved remains of a nodosaur, an armored herbivorous dinosaur that lived approximately 110 million years ago, were found. The fossilized “mummy” was found by accident during the development of oil sands in the Canadian province of Alberta. Then it was studied by scientists for several years, and now it is exhibited at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology. For the first time you can see not a naked skeleton, but a dinosaur in all its glory!

This specimen is the best ever found

On his back is a shell made of bone plates

Finally, we have before us not just a dinosaur skeleton, but something more

The mummy was preserved surprisingly well!
