Two Dinosaur "Mummies" Discovered in Wyoming Reveal Duck-Billed Dinosaurs Had Hooves
Paleontologists in Wyoming’s badlands have uncovered two remarkably preserved dinosaur specimens, described as “mummies,” offering an unprecedented glimpse into the anatomy of duck-billed dinosaurs. These fossils confirm that these herbivorous giants had hooves, shedding light on how they walked and interacted with their environment millions of years ago.
The discoveries also revealed other surprising features, including preserved skin and musculature, giving scientists a rare opportunity to study soft tissues that are usually lost over time. Such well-preserved specimens provide a window into the daily lives and physical adaptations of these prehistoric animals, helping researchers refine models of dinosaur locomotion and behavior.
The findings underscore the richness of the Wyoming badlands for paleontological research and promise to deepen our understanding of dinosaur biology and evolution.
