		A cast of the fossil is on display at the museum until at least Sept. 3, although it could be extended to stay in the museum for three months pending a renewal contract with the owners of the dinosaur.
		The mummified dinosaur, the largest skeleton excavated by the Sternbergs, is one of the most scientifically important fossils ever discovered because it revealed much information about how dinosaurs looked and lived.
		Also because of the way the dinosaur was mummified, it showed the contents of the stomach, which included conifer needles, seeds and twigs and proved that hadrosaurs led a terrestrial lifestyle rather than aquatic.

		Gill-King, the director of NT's laboratory of forensic anthropology, has been asked by the Travis County medical examiner to identify the genetic signature of the three mummified infants that were found in a second story crawl space in a rural Brown County home.

		Meanwhile, the unconscious Mama Chu, who spends most of her time in a hospital bed center stage, is visited by the visions of her past, and the mummified fetus is embodied metaphorically by a dancing deer, portrayed with evocative grace by the playwright's son, Lakin Valdez.
		The unadorned moments of "The Mummified Deer," when the play looks past the metaphor at the bared reality and straightforwardly reflects upon Yaqui history, are the most potent parts, but the audience has to wait most of the evening to get there.
		What ultimately most limits "The Mummified Deer" to a decent but not really memorable theatrical experience is that the imagery doesn't jump out at you, even though it's clearly supposed to.

		Ancient Britons started mummifying their dead at around the same time as the ancient Egyptians, according to a British archaeologist.
