'Stunningly preserved' dinosaur 'mummies' discovered in Wyoming have skin and hooves

We’ve been so concerned about feathers, we never considered hooves!

But we’ve been observing well preserved footprints for a while now, right?

Ah yes! We all know that all species under a class are monoliths. That's why horses, camels, beavers, cats, and humans all have the same feet. /s

In all seriousness, these are hooved toes, not singular (or dual) toe hooves like on a horse (or goat).

Does this give any clue about their skin color?
