Dinosaur mummy exciting in the abstract, disappointing in person
Dinosaur Mummy CSI: Cretaceous Science Investigation is the new dinosaur exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The main attraction is Leonardo, the first ever fossilized dinosaur mummy. Seeing as how it's close to Halloween, when the word "mummy" is mentioned, my mind immediately jumps to Boris Karloff. I was stoked to see this dinosaur mummy. A T-Rex wrapped in T.P.? Sign me up!Unfortunately, when they say "mummy," they don't mean King Tut. They mean a dead dinosaur that dried out and mummified before turning into a fossil. And Leonardo isn't exactly one of the cooler dinosaurs, either. He's a Brachylophosaurus, which is a type of hadrosaur. Remember The Land Before Time? Remember Ducky, that annoying little dinosaur who would always say "Yup, yup, yup!" in a really high-pitched voice? That's Leonardo.
