As a youth, I was positive I'd grow up to be a paleontologist and discover unheard-of species and immaculately preserved specimens in the Dakota bedrock. Then I discovered girls, so I did what any self-respecting male does: I got into comic books. Shockingly, it didn't really help with ladies.
If I had stuck with my first passion, I might have become like Tyler Lyson, who discovered perhaps the best-preserved dinosaur yet. The mummified hadrosaur belongs to the duck-billed family and showcases detailed scales, skin, muscle, tendons and other soft tissue. Though it hasn't been peer-reviewed yet, the discovery is expected to yield new insight into size, body mechanics and physical appearance of dinosaurs in general.
