What took me by surprise was the discovery of the intact organs that were present in the hadrosaur. This question remains, and will probably never be answered, would viable DNA be preserved in the organ tissue so mysteriously preserved over the millions of years since it was mummified? This is the one question I'm sure paleontologists have asked themselves since it was discovered. I am eager, however, to see the emergence of studies on other preserved dinosaurs as they are found and as our technology increases to make the studies possible.

It still seems to me beyond comprehension how a dinosaur with a bodyshape like this could be running at speeds of 28 mph :) Regarding the T-rex you may be right. I recently saw a study that suggested that Tyrannosaurus was actually a very slow dinosaur. According to the study, even 20 mph would be a bit of an exaggeration. A great post, thank you.
