Scientists find soft tissue in T-Rex fossil

Post by AuroEdge »

Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Bone
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A 70-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex fossil dug out of a hunk of sandstone has yielded soft tissue, including blood vessels and perhaps even whole cells, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday. Paleontologists forced to break the creature's massive thighbone to get it on a helicopter found not a solid piece of fossilized bone, but instead something looking a bit less like a rock. When they got it into a lab and chemically removed the hard minerals, they found what looked like blood vessels, bone cells and perhaps even blood cells. "They are transparent, they are flexible," said Mary Higby Schweitzer of North Carolina State University and Montana State University, who conducted the study. She said the vessels were flexible and in some cases their contents could be squeezed out.

Let the clonage begin! :lol:

I reckon they should clone them, but breed them small. Like those miniature ponies or something. So you would have a T-Rex, but it'd only be the size of a large dog or something. Sure it could do a lot of damage even at that size, but so can tigers and animals like that. Just make sure it's properly secured. :D

Wasn't this one pulled out of Weekly World News?

Edit:It's not. Score one for the creationists.

Yeah, and then we could make them fight and place bets on it and stuff. Ooh, and have announcers like a monster truck rally.

It's the fearsome Tinyasaurus Rex versus the evil Mini Meat! Who will survive and who will become fossil fuel? Find out this Saturday...Saturday...Saturday..."

I'll answer you and toastman's question with a question...is it really possible for bone marrow and blood to survive for MILLENIA without decaying?

And by creationists, I meant people who think that dinosaurs lived FAR later than was said, and what killed them was the flood/ice age/comment that destroyed lemuria.

Yes.

Like the people who wrote this
"Lemuria


Description
Lemuria was an ancient civilization which existed prior to and during the time of Atlantis. Physically, it is believed that Lemuria existed largely in the Southern Pacific, between North America and Asia/Australia. Lemuria is also sometimes referred to as Mu, or the Motherland (of Mu). At its peak of civilization, the Lemurian people were both highly evolved and very spiritual. While concrete physical evidence of this ancient continent may be difficult to find, many people "know" that they have a strong connection to Lemuria."

No, explain to me, how since the average human bloodcell lives less than a year, how a reptile one could survive for literaly 8,000,000 times that?

And yes, that is Lemuria/Mu. Now, go read up on it, the comet that took half of the planet with it, the face on mars that mirrors the egyptian pyramids, and the aliens known as the marduk.

Then, you'll have a SLIGHT grasping of REAL history.

Also, how Yellowstone is about to explode, and the mayans predicted it: the year 2015.

Ok, let's read the first sentence of the article:
A 70-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex fossil dug out of a hunk of sandstone has yielded soft tissue, including blood vessels and perhaps even whole cells, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
I highlighted the important passage for you.

Now, if I were to speculate, I'd guess this dinosaur is something similar to a sand mummy. Hot sand is well known for drying and preserving things. You can try it yourself. Get some sand, bury a chicken in it and heat it with a heat lamp. In a month or so, you'll have your own sand mummy. Over a period of 70 million years, sand becomes sandstone along with whatever was buried in the sand.

Ice is also a very good preservative. Our entire society is based on this. Your average steak will last two or three days. In the refrigerator, maybe 10 days. In the freezer, it'll last indefinitely. This is proven in nature by all the whole frozen mammoths, ?tzi and the Kennewick Man

No buddy. There was never a Mu. Only Atlantis. And Atlantis is the South Pole. Maybe you are confusing the two.

And there was no comet, it was a the shifting of the polar ice caps. There is evidence of 3 ice caps in the magnetic fossil record.
