SECRETS OF THE DINOSAUR MUMMY
The Holy Grail of Paleontology Revealed

A Film By:  Michael Jorgensen

In the summer of 2001, a group of amateur fossil hunters unearthed what many consider to be the most important find in the history of paleontology, the body of a dinosaur! Named for a stone etching found near his burial site, 'Leonardo' was discovered with fossilized skin covering his body. Emmy ® award winning filmmaker Michael Jorgensen takes viewers on a journey inside the CSI style investigation into the mummified and fossilized cadaver of a creature from Earth's late cretaceous period. Led by eminent paleontologist Dr. Robert Bakker, a group of world-class scientists embark on a five-year investigation to unlock the hidden anatomy of a dinosaur. From Leonardo's last meal, to images of his complex digestive system and internal organs, the radiographic autopsy reveals what these ancient creatures looked like. The results - the world's first anatomically accurate dinosaur - from the inside out! 77 million years after Leonardo's death, science unlocks the forces that killed and preserved the dinosaur mummy - forever changing the way the world looks at dinosaurs.
