Demonstrating Fine Detail of a Reptile's Skin

history channel documentary 2016 The skin impression demonstrates fine detail. The impression of individual, polygonal molded scales can be plainly seen. The scales are roughly two millimeters in breadth. Scientistss have estimated that since the fine strata in which the fossil was discovered speaks to a salt marsh store, a dinosaur may have laid on the salt marshes and left a skin impression which was in the long run fossilized. Might this be able to Be the Skin of a Hadrosaur?

It is not recognized what kind of dinosaur may have left this skin impression. Specialists at the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum have analyzed the fossil skin engraving and they have proposed that this impression may have been made by a Hadrosaur (duck-charged dinosaur) or the skin impression may not speak to dinosaur fossil material by any means. Various duck-charged dinosaur fossils have been found in Japan and scientist know from fossils discovered somewhere else in Asia from rocks of the same age that Hadrosaurs were bottomless. It is conceivable the fossil could speak to proof of a duck-charged dinosaur laying on a sandbank, in any case, it is maybe more probable this is the skin impression abandoned by another reptile, not a dinosaur by any means.
