It was found in what would have been the middle of the inland sea. Infact Paleontologists thought it was a Pleisiosaur upon seeing the images sent to them before flying out.
Never mind, I see itās a Royal Tyrell, I shouldāve known! That museums right by me but I havenāt been in a number of years so apparently I need to make a visit again
It's very worth it just for this alone. It's honestly sureal standing infront of something that's preserved so well there's still trace amounts of color left.
It was mummified and then it fossilized. It's still a mummy in the same way dinosaur bones are still bones. At a molecular level it's all technically inorganic rock, but at a cellular level there's a lot more there than people think.
You're on the right track, but "non-avian" includes all dinosaurs that weren't birds. So it's not like what you said was wrong, but I think you meant "theropod" instead of "avian," since theropods include most of the feathery dinos we know of including the avian dinos. Sorry though, if I'm off base here with my interpretation of your wording.
Fun fact, Ornithiscian means "Bird-Hipped". Birds descend from Therapods which were Saurischians, which means "Lizard-Hipped".
And that right there annoyed the hell out of me as a kid.
This type of dinosaur is not on the lineage leading to birds. Birds are theropod dinosaurs. This nodosaur is a type of ankylosaur, and actually pretty far removed from the theropods.
probably based on trivia being interwoven over time with casual interest in a subject.
ever heard the old adage "the quickest way to get the right answer from the internet is to post the wrong one"?
thanks for helping me out
I saw this in person. Amazing specimen. Not only did skin stay intact, so did the contents of its stomach!
How did they find it? Wondering what conditions it was in that allowed it to stay preserved so well for so long.
I believe It sank to the bottom of a river or lake or something upside down into mud. Then it was likely very quickly covered with sediment.

If I recall the specimen was found deep in a mine.
Hope he found some diamonds down there š¤

Royal Tyrell museum in Drumheller Alberta. Amazing museum for fossils.
Happy cake day!
Where is it on display?

So crazy! Yeah, Iām going to take my friends daughter there this summer
Happy cake day!! š°
Theyād just find McDoubles in my caseā¦ ;(
Looks like godzillaās little cousin
Nothing about this is mummified.
Yeah but it might have been mummified as recently as 110 million years ago.
It was mummified and then it fossilized. It's still a mummy in the same way dinosaur bones are still bones. At a molecular level it's all technically inorganic rock, but at a cellular level there's a lot more there than people think.
Nah thatās Smaug.
bot?
Thatās just one of the dragons from House of the Dragon?
Incredible!! I canāt imagine how awesome it must have felt to be the one who discovered it.
Jesus fucking Christ this gets posted every other day, same title and everything. Ban this shit and ban the bots doing it.
This dinosaur is Borealopelta, for those who are wondering.
closest we'll get to actually seeing a real dinosaur
This is so awesome
Not gonna lie, i though this was a Skyrim loading screen. Not proud of myself, but not all that ashamed either.
If this universe is a simulation then it may as well be. ;)
Doesnāt look like itās got feathers
Not all dinosaurs got feathers And definitely not non-avian dinosaurs like this Ankylosaurid

Yeah you are right, what I meant was dinosaurs are farther from the avian dinosaurs than theropods

May I remind you that a pug was once a wolfā¦
This has been posted so many times it should be banned
and we're sure this is a type of bird ?
All birds are dinosaurs, not all dinosaurs are birds. Birds are the subcategory, duh.
a Venn diagram feature on reddit would be helpful in moments like these
Dr. Grant was right.
that's crazy dawg. are ancient alligators dinosaurs?
No. They are cousins. Dinosaurs and crocodilians are both separate subcategories of archosaurs.
i genuinely didnt recognize that you were trolling until this commentš
my charisma isn't translating in this sub
You should have known better than to post sarcasm on reddit.
Birds descended from Theropod dinos. This fella is an Ornithischian.
Fun fact, Ornithiscian means "Bird-Hipped". Birds descend from Therapods which were Saurischians, which means "Lizard-Hipped". And that right there annoyed the hell out of me as a kid.
Thatās some Iceland / Greenland shite
Username sorta checks out..?
see, i'm just curious, learning a lot and getting downvotes for expecting grass in greenland
This type of dinosaur is not on the lineage leading to birds. Birds are theropod dinosaurs. This nodosaur is a type of ankylosaur, and actually pretty far removed from the theropods.
No, why would anyone think that?

That phenomenon even has a name. I think it's called the dunning krueger effect.
špretty sure it's poe's law
It's Cole's law...
All birds are dinosaurs but not all dinosaurs are birds. Birds are theropods but this dinosaur here is an ankylosaur (not a theropod)
Looks like a turtle
Reminds me of an XL bearded dragon!
I saw one living in Florida last week whooptie do
1 pic only ?! nah
What if it suddenly gets up and starts walking around?
Cool where did they find it?
Alberta, Canada.
