North Dakota Geology Survey Paleo unveils mummified dinosaur. More pics added.

Sounds like something an ornithopod posing as a human would say. Trying to keep us off your scent, huh?
6000 years ago titty fucking a live velociraptor was a rite of passage and separated the boys from the men
The "no feathers" posts are embarrassingly ignorant, because:
- Not all dinosaurs had feathers, this group had none
- Limbs and feet not having feathers doesn't mean an animal is featherless. Have you seen an actual bird before? Bird legs and feet are scaled and have no feathers...
Apparently you guys don't just hate science, but also basic biology and reality. Do you believe the earth is flat as well? ;p
Imagine getting this bitter over a joke.
Careful there, you might land your own Netflix special if you keep up.
I am genuinely shocked that there might actually be people here that are anti dino-feathers in 2019
In regards to feathers (or protofeathers in the case of dinosaurs), not all dinosaur species would have had them. Carnotaurus is a good example. From wiki
The skeleton is preserved with extensive skin impressions, showing a mosaic of small, non-overlapping scales approximately 5 mm in diameter. The mosaic was interrupted by large bumps that lined the sides of the animal, and there are no hints of feathers.
Of course we know some dinosaurs did have feathers (raptors for example) not all of them did. It's not a case of all dinosaurs either did or did not have feathers.
by the way this discovery is mind-blowing if real. I can't see any news reports at the moment. Has it had any confirmation?

A meme that backfires badly when it's not really all that funny and is something many people genuinely believe and are perpetuating bad science, looking through this thread, I don't believe all these people were doing those posts as a joke.
I can't imagine living a full day as someone as uptight about these things as some of you.
This is fascinating to behold, currently seeing some friends wanting to ride the like horses (:
Since dinosaur feathers are already in discussion, what is the current standing with palaeontologists on whether Allosaurus had proto feathers? Last time I saw, it was debated because of skin samples showing it didn't have feathers on it's shoulders but Dinosaurs related to them did have feathers.
Also I'm right in saying because of the amount of skin samples we're found, Carnotaurus didn't have feathers or am I remembering that wrong? Either way, let me cuddle my feathery raptors (:

So any source for this or what? Why would a limb be preserved so well with all tissues and flesh and all?
Only until Noah decided to not give a fuck with them.Wait.. so dinosaurs actually existed?
This has been addressed already. These dinosaurs were never thought to have any form of feathers in the first place.
Ignore the no feathers post. It's what's best.
Not forgetting that this is a leg and foot and most birds have unfeathered scaly legs and feet.
It's really cool that ornithopods, the first group of dinosaurs known to us, still has so many surprises.
We began by thinking they looked liked this:

We life in a world, where people (like the President of the USA) believe, that memes are truth and other other nations use them to influence politics. So i can understand him.
Maybe there will be partial?
Doubtful but man is it cool so see a specimen this well preserved
Not anti feather in general . Just against the lie that any dinosaur except those little chicken looking ones had feathers!
To be fair, not all dinosaurs had feathers, at least it was never stated to be.
Is this type of find similar to this earlier "mummy" find?
It's not actually mummified is it?
It's not actually mummified is it?
Yeah agreed
I thought most of these posts are just tongue in cheek playfulness
If we are being serious its clear that some did and some didn't and maybe its even more complicated than that. We have to account for long stretches of time and evolution trees
It's the front leg though. So that part that developed into the wings of modern birds.
