Dinosaur mummy

Dinosaur mummies are exceptionally well-preserved dinosaur fossils with skin traces covering substantial parts of the body. The term was coined by Henry Fairfield Osborn in 1911 for an Edmontosaurus specimen (AMNH 5060) discovered in 1908 by fossil hunter Charles Hazelius Sternberg and his three sons in Wyoming, US.
