A 3D dinosaur mummy nicknamed Dakota was found in North Dakota in 1999. Scientists are still uncovering it and learning new things about dinosaurs as they go. It is an amazing fossil because it is one of only five naturally preserved dinosaur mummies ever found, but instead of only having skin impressions on bones, Dakota's entire skin envelope remains. It has maintained it’s 3D shape for 67 million years.

The fossil is also the largest object ever scanned at high resolution. It is so large that it had to be scanned a CT scanner normally used to for space shuttle parts for NASA.

To learn more about how Dakota fossilized and what the scientists have been learning about dinosaurs through their discovery, check out my News Illustrated page in the Outlook section on Sunday.

National Geographic is also airing another segment of their special "Dino Autopsy" on Sunday, June 8 at 2p.m on the National Geographic Channel.
