Beat me by 2 min.
I’d be more interested in “proof” of dinosaur feathers.

I wonder if in a million years they’ll find over engorged fat welfare parasites preserved in amber?

So the dinosaurs were REALLY done-in by Lyme Disease.

The Hukawng Valley at the northern tip of Myanmar has produced a series of exquisite amber fossils in recent years, including lizards, flowers, insects, bird wingsand perhaps most excitingly, the feathered tail of a small dinosaur and the remains of an entire baby enantiornithine bird. The trees that existed then must have oozed huge quantities of sap. Nasty way to go, suffocated in a big blob of tree sap.

Why do ticks look the same today as 99 million years ago? Why didn’t they evolve?
To: Red Badger
Penny-The-Prancing-Pitbull has a very special Tick Collar ($80) that resists 4 kind of ticks that are responsible for the following diseases:
Anaplasmosis
Ehrlichia
Rocky Mountain Spotted fever
Lymne’s Didease
and some new one beginning with the letter “P”
Hey...why not extract some DNA from these prehistoric ticks and clone some new ones so we can study the diseases that may have killed off the Dinosaurs!!!!
Uh....maybe not...
