Soft Tissue Discovered In T-Rex Bone
kubla2000 writes, "Paleontologists have discovered soft tissue inside the fossilized thigh bone of a T-Rex. The tissue included blood vessels, bone cells, and perhaps even blood cells." From the article: "When paleontologists find fossilized dinosaur bones during a dig, they usually do everything in their power to protect them, using tools like toothbrushes to carefully unearth the bones without inflicting any damage. However, when scientists found a massive Tyrannosaurus rex thigh bone in a remote region of Montana a few months ago, they were forced to break the bone in two in order to fit it into the transport helicopter. This act of necessity revealed a startling surprise: soft tissue that had seemingly resisted fossilization still existed inside the bone. This tissue... was so well preserved that it was still stretchy and flexible."
In Soviet United States, President Bush eats fictional dinosaur terrorists!
Constitutional rights may be respected, repealed, or modified; but they must never be ignored.
I like this article on this matter: Ancient Dinosaur Depictions (Basic claim of this article is that there is a lot of evidence that dinosaurs and man co-existed.)
ps. I havn't read other articles on that site, only this one, so I don't know of their quality.
