Dino Autopsy
Description
Nearly everything we know of dinosaurs comes from bones and teeth-usually the only body parts durable enough to fossilize. This program highlights the scientific rewards resulting from a 1999 discovery of a virtually intact dinosaur mummy. Viewers will learn about the conditions that preserved the 67-million-year-old hadrosaur specimen as well as exciting details of what the creature looked like, how it moved, and more. The paleontologists involved explain why they believe this could be one of the most important dinosaur discoveries of all time.
