New Dino Skin (was Brachylophosaurus)



There were several posts in the last months about a new specimen found
in the Judith River Formation of Montana.
We are currently finishing up the excavation of a complete articulated
sub-adult Brachylophosaurus which has abundant skin impression, perhaps
comparable to the Sternberg  'Mummys'.
Details are on our new website under the 'LEONARDO' section at
http://www.judithriver.com
New photos are still being added to the site. The front left forelimb
has been prepped in the lab and has both positive and negative skin
impressions over approximately 90% of it's area. Anyone wanting more
detailed images of the skin and specimen may e-mail off list.
For the field-work inclined out there, to preserve the best information
we have jacketed the whole specimen and will be flipping a single 8 ton
block this week. Wish us luck! The specimen will then be transported to
the Phillips County Museum in Malta, Montana.
We look forward to catching up with everyone at SVP.
