I'll let someone else handle the first issue. We have already found fully-preserved soft organic tissue in the bones of dinosaurs, which are alleged to be "70 million years" old -- despite the fact that it is BIOCHEMICALLY-IMPOSSIBLE for soft organic tissues to last more than 100,000 years (let alone being still perfectly-preserved and elastic).

This is just total b.s. While it's unusual for organic material to persist in older fossil samples, it's not unknown. Flies in amber last millions of years. Heck, amber itself is organic material. For decades, we have been dating biological samples by measuring the isomerization of isoleucine, an amino acid, over hundreds of thousands of years.

By the way, no one claims the Tyrannosaur material is 'perfectly preserved'. That's just you making stuff up, like the RANTING LIAR you are.
