Scientists show fossil foot dinosaur amazingly preserved.
The body part, complete with skin, is just one of a series of extraordinary discoveries from the Tanis fossil site in North Dakota State, USA.
It’s not just the immaculate condition that attracts attention – it’s what the specimens of these ancient creatures display.
It claims that the creature at this Tanis site died and was buried on the same day that asteroid giants hit the Earth.
The day where 66 million years ago, when the age of dinosaurs ended and the appearance of mammals began.
Very few dinosaur remains have been found in recorded rocks, even in the last few thousand years before the asteroid impact. Then obtaining a specimen from that natural disaster would be extraordinary.
The BBC has spent three years documenting the geological site of Tanis to a coverage that will air on April 15and narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
