Rather old news, I know, but I thought I'd clip it to see what kind of discussion erupts. How is it that tissue can last for 70-mil. years? To say that science cannot adequately cope with this question is an understatement.

... And, of course, someone already clipped this. Sorry, everyone...

No need to apologize. You clipped it, you keep it.

I have collected documented mosaics, cave paintings, bronze seals etc. of dinosaurs made by the ancient man here:

Dinoglyfs and dinolits they are, really.

Such fresh fossil samples indicate that the geologic time scales are naiiive. Here's another news along the lines:

A <I>Tyrannosaurus rex</I> fossil has yielded what appear to be the only preserved soft tissues ever recovered from a dinosaur. Taken from a 70-million-year-old thighbone, the structures look like the blood vessels, cells, and proteins involved in bone formation.

Most fossils preserve an organism's hard tissues, such as shell or bone. Finding preserved soft tissue is unheard of in a dinosaur-age specimen.
