Currently, only its tail and right hind foot are in view, giving researchers a look at its intact fossilized skin. Together, these parts are posed in a way that suggests the dinosaur's entire skeleton lies intact within its ancient encasing. As its skin has been so well preserved, it must have been covered up quickly upon its death around 76 million years ago.
