I guess I am feeble minded, Peter, thats my excuse for posting this shit, and I am sticking with it. By the way, got some more shit for you to fume over, I will post it in a sec, after I finish laughing over it. ************************************************************************ NC paleontologist claims to have explanation for soft tissue, but even this is just a theory Concerning Armitages discovery, molecular paleontologist Mary Schweitzer from North Carolina State University (NCSU) claims to have come up with a valid explanation that, though unprovable, is making the media rounds. In a story published by The Huffington Post, Stephanie Pappas explained that iron in dinosaurs blood may have a preservative effect on soft tissue. According to the report, Schweitzer and her colleagues had discovered soft tissue in the fossilized leg of a Tyrannosaurus rex, which she says was unusually soft and still transparent for being supposedly 68 million years old. But because its free radical oxidation potential can have an effect similar to formaldehyde, the chemical used in embalming, iron in the creatures blood may have preserved the soft tissue in ways previously undiscovered. The problem is, for 300 years, we thought, Well, the organics are all gone, so why should we look for something thats not going to be there? and nobody looks, was Schweitzers explanation as to why soft tissue hasnt been observed in other fossil excavations. At the same time, Schweitzers explanation for the preservation of soft tissue on dinosaur bones is still just a theory, and one that supporters of Armitage say ignores the presence of radioactive carbon-14 in dinosaur fossils. Carbon-14 (C-14) dating of dinosaur bones collected from many different sites across the U.S. have revealed that, at most, these bones are only 39,000 years old. Dinosaur bones with Carbon-14 dates in the range of 22,000 to 39,000 years before present, combined with the discovery of soft tissue in dinosaur bones, indicate that something is wrong with the conventional wisdom about dinosaurs, says New Geology.
