Scientists discover dinosaur 'mummies' with hoofs like a horse | CBC Radio
It’s been more than 60 million years since duck-billed dinosaurs roamed around what is now known as western North America.
Or, more accurately, since they clomped around. On their hoofs.

Interesting to know that John Maynard-Smith, like John Gurdon, went to Eton College, are both were made to feel that science was not for them. Fortunately for us, they decided to not listen to their masters at the college and contributed brilliantly to biology.
