I think we should all take a moment to appreciate this gloriously well-preserved nodosaur that turned up in Alberta.

I mean, look at this thing!

This has got to be one of the most well-preserved dinosaurs I have ever laid eyes on.

Even the keratin sheaths around its osteoderm spikes were preserved, so it can be used to reliably reconstruct how ankylosaurids would have looked at in life!

And the best part is it was discovered completely by accident in a mining operation! Can you imagine being one of the miners who stumbled across this beautiful, beautiful thing?
