Dinosaur mummy comes to life in documentary
If you missed my News Illustrated page on Dakota, the dinosaur mummy, in the paper Sunday, check it out here.
Also, the video below talks more about the discovery process and shows some great footage of the dinosaur mummy being uncovered. It is pretty cool because you can actually see the head of the dinosaur being uncovered and see footage of them digging it up in North Dakota.
Here are 6 different parts of a documentary by the National Geographic Channel on Dakota's discovery. You can see how the scientists used CT scans and other information to create a computer generated model of how hadrosaurs walked and ran. It aired on tv back in December.

Also, if you are planning to visit North Dakota anytime soon, the dinosaur's arm, tail and foot will be put on display this summer at the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismark. A large life-size photo of the rest of the body will be put on floor tiles, with the body parts in place where they would attach. A camera will also be set up for visitors to see the rest of the body being prepared.
