“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
This is the odd reason:

(C-Y-C)“You can’t sequence stone and minerals.”
(RFE) They did exactly that, after passing it through numerous chemical baths. The mechanism whereby even collagen could be preserved is unknown at this time, but there was no doubt that they started with a recognizable, hard-as-rock fossil.
(C-Y-C) And about that sequencing stone and minerals? How are coming along with that?
To: count-your-change
(RFE) see post #132, I know you don’t believe it, but that is what they did.
What was done?

So which is it? Can stone and mineral be sequenced or not?
