Old Dinosaur Mummy Found in Canada (No, It’s Not Joe Biden)

It is not a blistering all-caps headline about electile dysfunction (see what I did there?) or the latest flu propaganda, but all ‘work’ and no “play” makes Jack a dull boy. And this is about dinosaurs.


ICYMI: In-Person Schooling was Never a Vector For Transmission.


What kid did not, at one time, even for a few minutes, think these were the coolest things?

Maybe that too is prehistoric; after all, the only screen I had growing up was a television, and it only had three channels. Then four if someone held the antenna with the aluminum foil on it and lifted an arm and well, if you were lucky, you get the picture.

To keep it a shade political, it’s a lot like the election; not everyone gets the picture. But we’ve got pictures and video of this.

Discovered by miners in Alberta, Canada, it’s a ‘mummy’ of a nodosaur, a type of plant-eating armored dinosaur. And it is huge.

The animal has two 20-inch-long spikes on its shoulders, and, in life, it was 18 feet long and nearly 3,000 pounds.

Scientists call it perhaps the best-preserved fossil of its kind ever unearthed because its bones remain covered by intact skin and armor some 110 million years after the creature’s death.

And it’s less dangerous than Joe Biden.
