One of the most momentous discoveries in palaeontology was made in 2003 when a 67-million-year-old dinosaur “mummy” was unearthed in North Dakota.
Only a few mummified dinosaurs have ever been found and none with as much potential to revolutionise our knowledge of dinosaurs. This film follows the extraordinary process of excavating the fossilised mummy, the analysis from one of the largest CT scans ever taken and the potentially ground-breaking results of the scientific investigation. Established theories of dinosaurs’ appearance and movement are called into question.
