  • Scientists find T-Rex soft tissue



    Jurassic Park, here we come!
    "Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
    "That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the world

    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

      Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
      Then why call him God? - Epicurus

          Doesn't DNA denaturate after ~10'000 years depending on the conditions?

              or if you can just get the sequence, then you can recreate it, conceiveably.

                Rumsfeld would love putting a few hundred raptors in body armor to use as a first wave against Iran.

                We will get right on it.

                  I just saw this on cnn.com a few minutes ago. I wonder what research will be able to come out of this in the future.
                  However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

                      unfortunately, the DNA would be so degraded to be useless for phylogenetic analysis (evolutionary trees). The morphology will help us understand the physiology of higher theropods, though.

                        this stuff has to be rare as all freaking hell. I hope they are taking every possible precaution. If it really is soft tissue it surely might be expected to spoil once removed from it's protective environment.

                              Even if the question answered is whether it is warm-blooded, it's still an impressive find.
