    Just a small update. The dinosaur mummy known as 'Dakota' (an Edmontosaurus to be specific) is now around 75% excavated from it's rocky 'tomb'. Skin, ligaments and tendons all appear to have been fosilized. Those working onthe fossil are also hopefultaht some internal organs have een preserved too.
