In the late '90s, researchers in New Mexico found that if you take CT scans of a dinosaur skull fossil, you can recreate the sounds the dinosaur might have made millions of years ago. A graduate student at Arizona State University took that idea one step further, by creating a dinosaur skull that you can play like a musical instrument. From Here & Now contributor KJZZ, Annika Cline has the story.
