"That meat clearly is not 70 million years old; I've seen week-old roadkill which looked worse. "
Really ?
Just how old do you think it "clearly" is ?
a week ? a decade ? a thousand years ?
I'd GUESS a few thousand years, possibly as much as ten or twelve thousand. After 60 million years, all that would be left would be petrified material.
Well,let's not forget about how Czar Nicholas served woolly mammoth meat at a banquet which had been discovered flash frozen in a glacier with partly digested plants still in its system
Conveniently left out of the article is the fact that the 'meat' didn't look that way when they broke open the bone.
They found the rock hard, dessicated chunk, and a female member of the team spent days rehydrating it, which made it look like it does now.
It wasn't fossilized (which is where the cells of the creature (bone, etc) are leached out and replaced by minerals which cement together into a rock hard 'cast' of the original.
That is the real difference between this find and other previous ones. They were all fossilized. This one wasn't, but looked just like the ones that are.
The media says they don't lie. Well, that is possible. They just don't put certain 'facts' in articles, and look how many are misled.
