These photos provided by the journal Science show demineralized fragments of tissues from a Tyrannosaurus Rex femur. The top photo shows the demineralized fragment is flexible and resilient. The middle photo shows the demineralized bone in the air after drying. The bottom one shows regions of demineralized bone showing fibrous character. These characteristics are not normally seen in fossil bone.

Doesn't anyone think it is strange that no one thought of this before, cracking a bone open, or even drilling it?

So, either the process of fossilization needs to be revised or, the soft tissue isn't as old as indicated.

This is awesome. There are a number of examples of fossilized soft tissue of dinosaurs, including a lovely mummy of a duck-billed dino. However, to my knowledge, except for a false start with a T. Rex bone a few years back, this is the first example of extant unfossilized dinosaur soft tissue. Reading this article gave me chills.

And the 70 million year old virus that has been trapped in this tissue and was released by this "demineralization" process has now infected the entire staff of this facility. There is no creature currently alive with any immunity to this virus.
The gestation period is roughly one year from exposure. The first group of researchers were exposed 11 months ago and will start dying in one month. They have been infecting everyone they come in contact with since then. By this time 98% of the worlds animal population has been exposed. The mortality rate will be roughly 98%.
Have a nice day.

Thankfully the Lord doesnt let you into heaven based on whether you think the earth is 70 billion or 6 thousand years old. Please simply understand youre sinful nature and need for grace.
Evo vs Crea is an excellent debate but please watch the personal attacks.
Pro-Creation here.

The dinosaur was about 18 years old when it died. At least that is what was on it's drivers license!
