It's an interesting contrast to a specimen the Ray Alf Museum has (is that that the museum who mae this find? I don't want to just assume). The find at the Alf Museum is a partially articulated hadrosaur skeleton found with preserved skin but the was small patches scattered about. Taphonomy: interesting as all hell, confusing as all hell! cool find. It’s an interesting contrast to a specimen the Ray Alf Museum has (is that that the museum who mae this find?

As an aside, I should note that we're not the first to deal with the complicated nature of dinosaur skin taphonomy. Mike Getty, Eric Roberts, Eric Lund, and others associated with the Kaiparowits Basin Project have been working on this in some detail (including a few published conference abstracts - see our paper for citations). There are exciting things on the horizon! Great write-up, Brian! As an aside, I should note that we’re not the first to deal with the complicated nature of dinosaur skin taphonomy.
