The skin of a 66-million-year-old duckbilled dinosaur pokes out of the soil at the Hell Creek formation in North Dakota in 2007. Advanced imaging and chemical techniques later revealed that the dinosaur had skin like that of birds or crocodiles, a July 2009 study says. [Photograph by Tyler Lyson, copyright NGS]

No one knows how the hippo-size animal died. But scientists do know that the body was probably buried rapidly.

I have a pair of alligator boots that look just like that skin, right down to the size of the scales.

I knew it.
I knew it would happen, but not so quick.

I knew that somehow a pic of Michael Jackson's Autopsy would be made public.

Wow, what a great find. !!!

From the article --- If you're limited to bones, "you lose a lot of what you can find out about ancient creatures."

But it sure allows one great leeway in the just-so kingdom.

The pattern is hex, not regular but hex none the less.
