    So some miners in Alberta have stumbled upon one of the best-preserved dinosaur fossils ever found. It's a nodosaur; a species of the Ankylosauria group, the obvious inspiration for the mighty Bastiladon. The poor beast was rapidly buried underwater, which caused not only its bones but also its softer tissues to fossilize. This is quite rare, and has paleontologists very excited.

    It seems that even 110 million years cannot fully overcome a 3+ save that is immune to Rend.
