  • Dinosaur Fossil With Fleshy Rooster's Comb Is First of Its Kind
    Mummified fossil represents first description of a soft-tissue crest atop a dinosaur's head.

    A rare, mummified specimen of the duck-billed dinosaur Edmontosauraus regalis shows for the first time that those dinosaurs' heads were adorned with a fleshy comb, most similar to the roosters' red crest.
