Fossilized dinosaurs are some of the rarest and most striking fossils known to science. Join me today as I tell you about the first one ever found, how it got here, and what we've learned from it.

What's your favorite dinosaur fossil?

Here is a question that I’ve been wondering about, when are the most recent fossils? Do fossils [change in] composition over time? Are the most recent fossils made of softer stone than the ones that are hundreds of millions of years old? And when are the latest, very oldest true mummies?

I’m kind of wondering about the boundary mark between actual, dried organic tissue mummies versus the fossils that they would give away to in the geologic column

When do we stop seeing one and start seeing the other? Do they overlap in time?

I had no idea it was possible for dinosaurs to become mummies. I've only seen them as bones. This is so cool. It looks edible. like a costco chicken

Super educational! Maybe the dehydrated bodies in Three Body Problem weren’t as fictional as I thought 🤔

I didn't realize fossils were copies made of mineral and stone. Wild

I found one. It was a fresh kill with blood that has turned to red crystal. Who can I sell this one of a kind?

Nonsense. Soft tissue lasting millions of years, while the half-life on Egyptian mummies is far shorter, and that is under a perfect mummification environment.
