Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Two fossilised \u201cmummies\u201d unearthed by scientists in the badlands of Wyoming of the duckbilled dinosaur Edmontosaurus reveal the external anatomy in exquisite detail, including the surprising presence of hooves on the feet \u2014 a first for any dinosaur.<\/p>\n

The two Edmontosaurus individuals, dating to the end of the dinosaur age 66-million years ago, were a young adult about 12.2m long and a two-year-old juvenile about half that length. The contours of the external fleshy surface of the two dinosaurs were preserved over the skeleton by a thin clay layer about 0.025cm thick that formed after they died.<\/p>\n

Because the shape of an animal\u2019s soft tissue is rarely preserved in fossils, it is usually difficult to reconstruct the appearance of dinosaurs and other extinct creatures. But these two had extensive continuous areas of preserved external skin surface, providing the most complete, fleshed-out view of a large dinosaur to date.\u201cWe\u2019re seeing the full profile of the dinosaur for the first time,\u201d said University of Chicago palaeontologist Paul Sereno, who led the study published in the journal Science. \u201cWe\u2019re confident what it looked like.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dinosaurs are not mummies in the same sense as bodies elaborately preserved in ancient Egypt for the afterlife. Similar fossils were found more than a century ago in the same locale \u2014 though not excavated as painstakingly as these \u2014 that were dubbed mummies, and the term stuck.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey do not resemble human mummies of Egyptian style. At least for our mummies, there\u2019s no DNA, there\u2019s no tissue structure, there\u2019s nothing. It\u2019s a clay mask,\u201d Sereno said.These Edmontosaurus individuals lived during the Cretaceous Period shortly before an asteroid collision abruptly ended the age of dinosaurs. Edmontosaurus, which munched plants with its broad and flat snout that vaguely resembled a duckbill, roamed western North America alongside apex predator Tyrannosaurus, horned dinosaur Triceratops and armoured dinosaur Ankylosaurus.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is by far the most common dinosaur\u201d in its ecosystem, Sereno said of Edmontosaurus. \u201cIt was giant herds. It\u2019s the cow of its day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Its length \u2014 reaching about 12.8 m \u2014 rivalled that of Tyrannosaurus. Other fossils with teeth marks show it was a favourite meal for T rex.\u201cThere\u2019s no question that it\u2019s on the menu,\u201d Sereno said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not an animal that would be easy to take down. That\u2019s why you needed something the size of a Tyrannosaurus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mammals such as horses, cows, goats and sheep evolved hooves, structures that protect the toes, support an animal\u2019s weight, offer traction and absorb shock from the impact of walking and running. Edmontosaurus did so millions of years earlier. It is the first dinosaur, the first reptile and the first land vertebrate known to have evolved hooves.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s for hard land, efficiently walking \u2014 maybe even running \u2014 over the surface,\u201d Sereno said.<\/p>\n

Its hooves are an example of a phenomenon called convergent evolution in which disparate organisms independently evolve similar features \u2014 like the wings of birds, bats and the extinct flying reptiles called pterosaurs \u2014 while adapting to similar environments or ecological niches.<\/p>\n

Edmontosaurus appears to have walked on all fours when moving slowly and on two legs when running, Sereno said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only animal we can point at as a parallel or an analogue is a kangaroo,\u201d Sereno said.<\/p>\n

As a result, the hooves of its forelimbs differed from those of its hindlimbs.<\/p>\n

The fossils showed Edmontosaurus boasted a continuous midline feature on its body, with a fleshy crest along the neck and trunk that changes over the hips into a single row of spikes running down the tail. Its skin was covered in tiny, pebble-like scales, most no bigger than those of an average lizard.<\/p>\n

It appears the two Edmontosaurus individuals died, perhaps in a drought, and their desiccated carcasses were later covered in a flash flood that left them coated in a film of clay, called clay templating.<\/p>\n

Using historical photos and field investigation, the researchers rediscovered where in east-central Wyoming some dinosaur mummies were excavated in the early 20th century. During fieldwork in this \u201cmummy zone\u201d, Sereno said, they also found fossils of Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops, to be detailed in separate studies. Sereno said the Tyrannosaurus fossil suggested it may have been feathered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe T rex doesn\u2019t even have scales.\u201d<\/p>\n
