Luv, if you can find ONE reference anywhere (not your own posts of course) that says stone and mineral has been or can be sequenced I will most humbly apologize and be abashed. Go for it if you wish and then laugh.

But on the other hand if you can't find such a reference (it shouldn't take too long) you will apologize, etc. How's that?

“But on the other hand if you can’t find such a reference (it shouldn’t take too long) you will apologize, etc. How’s that?”

You cannot sequence stone and mineral. You keep bringing that up, not me, for some odd reason.

Here goes again: They apparently took a fossil sample, bathed it in chemicals to strip away the minerals and then were able to sequence what was left (assuming they didn’t contaminate it)

This is hardly “soft tissue”.....but it may have been something, but that’s the best explanation I can give you
