Freaking amazing! Just looking at the couple pictures is incredible. Just imagine being a palaeontologist and discovering this! You're pretty much set for life, and beyond.

Very cool. It looks a lot like an Ankylosaurus. Unsurprisingly Nodosaurus is related to Ankylosaurus(how distantly, I don’t know).

intact skin and armor? not feathers? SUCK IT, SCIENCE!!! Probably depends on the species with the feathers. I know they've found some with feather nodes. The dinosaur they found was a Nodosaurus, which is part of the ankylosaur suborder. They were quadruped, herbivore dinosaurs with thick armor to protect them from predators. Though unlike Ankylosaurus, they didn't have any sort of bony club at the end of their tail. I think almost all the feathered dinosaurs or dinosaurs with feather-like features were theropods, specifically coelurosaurs like Deinonychus, Velociraptor, Compsognathus, Oviraptor, and even Tyrannosaurus Rex. Almost all the theropods were carnivores, but some were omnivores, insectivores, and even a few known herbivores. All birds are technically part of that evolutionary clade, too. When you think about it, while the vast majority of dinosaur species went extinct with the 65 MYA extinction event, quite a few of them survived and are now birds. So every bird you see, from the owls to pigeons to penguins, are really dinosaurs.

At this point, I'm just holding out hope that Dinoriders actually happens. It'd be hard to do. It'd take a lot of science to harness the powerrrrrrr!

The dinosaur was used as transport on the way to a Terry Funk retirement match.

I legit emailed my homegirl in Toronto. We're going to road trip to this shizz. You’re going to drive from Toronto to Drumheller? That’s one hell of a drive.

And dinosaurs like Deinonychus, Utahraptor, Velociraptor, etc. might've looked like really angry emus with really sharp teeth and even sharper claws, especially that huge hooked one at the end of their toe on each foot.

I remember being told when I was little that no one really knows for sure what dinosaurs looked like. Turns out they got it right. Awesome news.🦖 🦕
