Well, Borealopelta was only described less than 12 months ago: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(17)30808-4

Companies take more time than that to go from species selection to finished product.

In any case, even the press at the time tempered their reports by calling it the best preserved armoured dinosaur. Obviously, there are better preserved dinosaurs than this particular specimen, wonderful as it is.

This is right on target . ....so many specimens come to mind, but of course my favorite resides at the Senckenberg, and has to rate among the top five. Leonardo, Dakota, Sue, Lane, Black Beauty, there are so many ...an embarrassment of paleo riches.
Authors with varying competence have suggested dinosaurs disappeared because of meteorites...God's will, raids by little green hunters in flying saucers, lack of standing room in Noah's Ark, and palaeoweltschmerz—Glenn Jepsen

And some of the feathered beasties from China are breathtaking!

Now, which one would that be.... either the Hadrosaur mummy or on a better thought the Psittaco?

I feel like Kulindadromeus would be a contender.

Smilodon P.


I have always thought that Anchiornis should be better represented due to a considerable amount of partially mummified animals  with various types of information (feathers, colors, muscles, scales ...).
