Was a frozen intact dinosaur found?

Not so far. Here's the problem: we find frozen mammoths because mammoths lived during the last Ice Age, which just (geologically speaking) ended. Dinosaurs lived much, much longer ago and since then there have been many warm periods when all the ice melted, even in Anarctica. If any dinosaurs had been frozen, they would have been thawed out long ago.
