I think that this could be a much more interesting article if it were on dinosaur "mummies" in general, and their preservation, including the other "Sternberg mummy", the hadrosaur lost at sea in WWI, and Leonardo the Brachylophosaurus. J. Spencer 05:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
It seems that these image by Osborn from 1912 are public domain. [2] [3] [4] They should be included in the article. -- Petri Krohn 15:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
"Dinosaur mummy" directs here. There are multiple fossils that have been referred to as dinosaur or fossil "mummies" due to the fact that preservation extends far beyond mere bone, sometimes even including skin and scales. Is there no article for this sort of extreme fossilization? 73.32.145.62 ( talk) 16:28, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Yet another suggestion: although one could probably assume 69-68 Ma for this species, unless I missed it, I could not find any coverage of dating/age in this article yet. Thanks, — Paleo Neonate – 04:56, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
There does not seem to be any mention of the overall dimensions or mass of the mummy in the article, just the size of the dig. Is this data available? Also, are there estimates of the dimensions and mass of this dinosaur when it was alive? -- Harris7 ( talk) 11:36, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
When is "early spring"? Isn't the actual date known? -- The Huhsz ( talk) 16:46, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
One of the pictures has highlighted zones, marked as "A" and "B", but there does not appear to be any explanation. If anyone knows what those are meant to mean, can they add them into the picture caption? GMRE ( talk) 19:47, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
