Enthüllt: Geheimnisse der Meere - Die Geheimnisse der Dinosaurier - Report / Doku-Reihe

MWS showing an assembly of the best preserved armored dinosaur fossil in the world. The specimen, named Borealopelta markmitchelli, was discovered in northern Alberta, Canada. The fossil came out of a cliff in a number of pieces. Once prepared and reassembled they reveal an almost intact dinosaur.

Dreadnoughtus schrani Recon: WS of Dreadnoughtus schrani in natural environment. The dinosaur was a plant eater but its large size was a defense from most potential predators. If it was attacked it could defend itself with a heavily weaponized tail.

Tyrannosaur Recon: MWS of five tyrannosaurs of differing sizes and ages drowned in a flood and then washed into a lake. The rare earth elements fingerprint of the fossil bones suggests that the five individuals died together and were buried together. This in turn suggests that they were a family or social group who hunted together as a pack.

Borealopelta markmitchelli GFX: MSW reconstruction of the armored dinosaur, Borealopelta markmitchelli, in its natural habitat and showing its skin colouration. This coloring was deduced using the chemical fingerprint of the exceptionally well-preserved fossilized skin.

Borealopelta markmitchelli Recon: WS CGI reconstruction of a dead individual sinking down to the seabed. When a large animal dies its body fills up with gas and becomes bloated. It floats in water and can be carried long distances before the gases burst; the body loses buoyancy and sinks.
