This from 6 hours ago. The publicity is insane. World going crazy for it…
Scientists discovered preserved soft tissue, blood vessels, and cells inside a 68-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex fossil, challenging the belief that such materials couldn’t survive that long.
The breakthrough came when researchers dissolved the hard mineral shell of the fossil and found flexible, stretchy structures inside—something previously thought impossible after millions of years.
Scientists believe iron from the dinosaur’s blood may have helped preserve these tissues by protecting them from decay and microbial damage over time.
This discovery changes how we understand fossilization and opens new possibilities for studying ancient life, giving scientists deeper insight into dinosaur biology and evolution.
