That specimen, called Asilisaurus, is not a dinosaur, but belongs to a so-called "sister taxon"—that is, the closest it can be to a dinosaur without actually being one.
BacterioFabrication: a grown book is made out of biological specimen called 'Gluconoacetobacter xylinus,' which naturally produces films of bacterial cellulose, an organic compound with the same microbial structural frame as the plant based material found in cotton and paper.

In this paper, a simple specimen called Edge Notched Disc Bend (ENDB) is proposed for experimental determination of KIIIc.
When one particularly nasty specimen called turtle weed (Chlorodesmis fastigiata) rubs against A. millepora, for instance, wide bands of dying tissue girdle the coral.
