Talk:Edmontosaurus mummy AMNH 5060

Expansion
I think that this could be a much more interesting article if it were on dinosaur "mummies" in general, and their preservation, including the other "Sternberg mummy", the hadrosaur lost at sea in WWI, and Leonardo the Brachylophosaurus. J. Spencer 05:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Couldn't agree more - I had no idea such things existed until I read this DYK! 86.133.246.224 13:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Here is another one. --80.134.202.54 (talk) 20:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Any news on a merged "dinosaur mummy" article? Would be very interesting.

PD images
It seems that these image by Osborn from 1912 are public domain.  They should be included in the article. -- Petri Krohn 15:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Dinosaur mummy
"Dinosaur mummy" directs here. There are multiple fossils that have been referred to as dinosaur or fossil "mummies" due to the fact that preservation extends far beyond mere bone, sometimes even including skin and scales. Is there no article for this sort of extreme fossilization?73.32.145.62 (talk) 16:28, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Someone needs to make it... See section above. FunkMonk (talk) 01:16, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Dating
Yet another suggestion: although one could probably assume 69-68 Ma for this species, unless I missed it, I could not find any coverage of dating/age in this article yet. Thanks, — Paleo Neonate  – 04:56, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Size
There does not seem to be any mention of the overall dimensions or mass of the mummy in the article, just the size of the dig. Is this data available? Also, are there estimates of the dimensions and mass of this dinosaur when it was alive? -- Harris7 (talk) 11:36, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * This was also asked about during the FAC, and such measurements don't seem to be given in the sources. FunkMonk (talk) 12:03, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * In that case the article should say that the size of this prehistoric monster is unknown and could easily range from the size of a mouse to that of a house. GMRE (talk) 19:51, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Maybe the size the species in general could reach could be mentioned. Or maybe that could be misleading, what does think? FunkMonk (talk) 01:31, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Season
When is "early spring"? Isn't the actual date known? --The Huhsz (talk) 16:46, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * That probably is unknown. I'm assuming the guys must have been digging around for a whole summer there, before recollecting that they found that one some time in "early spring". GMRE (talk) 19:51, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

What is the significance of the A and B?
One of the pictures has highlighted zones, marked as "A" and "B", but there does not appear to be any explanation. If anyone knows what those are meant to mean, can they add them into the picture caption? GMRE (talk) 19:47, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you mean this one? They show where some of the other close-up images are located on the animal, namely these: Not sure how or if this should be added to the caption. FunkMonk (talk) 01:33, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
