- **Event Name**: Insights into the Fossilization of Dinosaurian "Mummies" with Clint Boyd
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Free and open to the public.

Join us as Clint Boyd shares about Dinosaurian “mummies” - exceptionally well-preserved specimens that retain fossilized skin and nails. Scientists once believed these incredible specimens formed only through rapid burial during catastrophic events.

New research on the famous mummy Dakota reveals something 
surprising: partial scavenging and time exposed on the surface may actually help preserve dinosaur skin. This discovery challenges long-held beliefs and suggests exceptionally preserved fossils may be more common than we once thought.

Join us to explore how this research is reshaping what we know 
about fossilization and uncover the surprising science behind one of paleontology’s greatest mysteries.
 
Clint Boyd manages the paleontology program for the North Dakota Geological Survey and serves as curator of the North Dakota State Fossil Collection with research focused on Eocene and Oligocene vertebrate faunas and anatomy and systematic relationships of ornithischian dinosaurs.
