It was so well preserved, they were even able to determine the colour of its scaly skin was a reddish brown and say it had something of a 'troubled past'.

'This nodosaur is truly remarkable in that it is completely covered in preserved scaly skin, yet is also preserved in three dimensions, retaining the original shape of the animal,' said Brown.
