Dino Mummies Redefine Edmontosaurus
Groundbreaking research on exceptionally preserved "mummies" of the duck-billed dinosaur Edmontosaurus annectens, discovered in Wyoming, has provided unprecedented insights into its external appearance and locomotion, challenging previous assumptions. This study, led by University of Chicago paleontologists, notably revealed that Edmontosaurus possessed hooves and a fleshy crest, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of hadrosaurs and marking the first confirmed hooved reptile.
