内容提要:	"When Tyler Lyson, hiking the Badlands of North Dakota in 1999, discovered the bony tip of an ancient tail, he knew he had made an unusual find, yet he was unaware of exactly how momentous a discovery it really was. He noted the location of the fossil but did not return to excavate it until 2003. It was then he contacted Dr. Philip Manning, an internationally renowned paleontologist. Together, the two soon realized that they had not only a skeleton of a dinosaur but also tendons, ligaments, and a partial 3-D skin envelope, which would allow muscle volume to be calculated for the very first time. They had uncovered an extremely rare fossil - a dinosaur mummy."
内容提要:	"Drawing upon cutting-edge technology, Phil Manning takes readers on a chronological tour of the handful of dinosaur mummies that have teased the scientific community since 1908, when the first remarkably preserved example was discovered and excavated. Since then, similar discoveries from Italy to China and, from North America to Patagonia have added to our knowledge and understanding of these remarkable fossils - but none so much as this newest, whose grave secrets are being explored by Manning's team, working with everything from tweezers, plaster, and burlap to state-of-the-art protein analysis and the world's largest CT scanner as they excavate, record, and analyze this incredible new find."--BOOK JACKET.
