The fossil looks amazing, very scaly and detailed. I'm surprised they found a fossil with the tissue imprints still there. |

This is awesome. It's so utterly lifelike, you almost forget you're looking at a rock. That texture, though. |

That's really an amazing discovery! This Ankylosaurid can give us lot of informations about their skin composition and their colour. |

This fossil is absolutely gorgeous. A scaled dinosaur with pigments preserved is astounding. So astounding I gave it a nickname: Pulcherosaurus rubiginosus (Meaning: "Beautiful rusty reptile") |
