Fossil Hunters in North Dakota discovered the preserved remains of a 67-million-year old duck-billed hadrosaur in 1999. The remains were found by an amateur archaeologist named Tyler Lyson, who was a teenager at the time. The specimen was only the fifth mummified dinosaur discovered by archaeologists.

The full, preserved form of the dinosaur is estimated to emerge sometime in 2009.BBC: Amazing find of dinosaur 'mummy' (December 3, 2007) guardian.co.uk: Faster than T rex - the dinosaur 'mummy' that had to run for its life (December 3, 2007)
