T-Rex soft tissue found!
Several sources are reporting that soft tissue has been accidentally discovered in a T-Rex thigh bone from a find in Montana. What looks to be bone cells were found after the thigh bone was reluctantly cracked in order to fit into a transporting helicopter. Scientists are trying to isolate DNA from the specimen which may help answer many lingering questions about dinosaur evolution (or ‘design’, if that’s your bag). click “read more” for news links.ABC News “Scientists recover soft tissue from 70 Million year old Tyrannosaurus Rex”

over the last few years. I’ll be watching to see what comes of it.
