Lucky paleontologists may stumble upon a well-preserved, nearly complete skeleton that offers a rough idea of an animal’s size and shape. But fossils that preserve soft tissues — skin, flesh, feathers — are the rarest of the rare. These geological treasures form and survive only under special environmental conditions that scientists are just now beginning to understand. Bones give just an overall hint of what an animal such as a f... (p. 22)Published: January 30th, 2010; Vol.177 #3 -
