DINOSAUR MUMMY
100000 YEARS OLD
American Museum of Natural His
tory Has Only Known speei-
men in the World.

Digging cautiously into the sandstone
easement in which was embedded the
skeleton of a huge trachodOn, or duck
billed dinosaur, perpetrators at the
American Museum of Natural History
a few days ago learned with a JOY
which only fossil hunters and paleontOl-
ogists can appreciate that their find"
was not only a skeleton, but a genuine
mummy. without A counterpart IN any
museum in the world Wrapped about
the giant bones was the skin which
clothed the animal in life more than
5000, 600 years ago
Professor Osborn. president Of the
museum. regards the mummy not only
Of great interest and value because no
other institution in the world can bOast
of its like, but because a study of the
skin which had been preserved through
such ages. proves that many ideas mod
ern scientists have formed of the an
pearauce Of the trachodon in life are
erroneous.
The largest piece OF skin of a dinosaur
which has been hitherto preserved in
any museum of the world was not
greater than two hands. and il came
from the pOndeTOus tail. giving only a
vague idea as to the character Of the
covering for the rest OF the body. For

and not much thicker than that OF a
human being.
