Cool.

If they can clone anything off of the soft tissue, I bet it tastes like chicken. ;-)

My question after reading this piece -— How are soft tissues preserved after MILLIONS of YEARS ? It’s amazing to see that DNA and protein can last for 80 to 150 million years.

I believe the paleontologists didn’t expect to find soft tissue. It must have been a pleasant surprise ( a bonus ) to find them.

The Chinese will extract and grind em up for use as sexual potions.

I think they mean the fossil impressions include the outline of soft tissue, unlike the reported discovery a couple years ago of actual remaining soft and still pliable tissue inside a T-Rex bone after it was sawn in half.

That report, which I don't recall much else about after it originally appeared, opens up some questions for me about the validity of the "tens and hundreds of millions of years ago" concept of geologic time I've trusted since I was a little kid with my dog eared Illustrated Book of Dinosaurs.
