If that was true then I assume the evos would have pointed that out by now. The soft tissues were first discovered in 1991. This is not something new. Here’s an article about that discovery.

“Though resilient, collagen fibers have been observed in laboratory settings to decay within a matter of weeks. Studies show that collagen should be unrecognizable after 30,000 years,2 a figure that is only 0.0375 percent of the standard age assigned to the hadrosaur.”

You should read the PRIMARY SOURCE instead of lyin' Brian MS* nonsense. Of course, you have to know the difference between finding a "protein" and finding a "specific protein sequence" in an immuno assay. you must know the difference between finding "blood cells" and finding "mineralized blood cell structure."

Lyin' Brian MS* is banking on you not knowing the difference.

I want to second (third, fourth) the suggestion that you check the original sources on any of Brian's articles, because he will lie to you. In this case, you only need to go to the footnote: "In bones, hydrolysis [breakdown] of the main protein component, collagen, is even more rapid and little intact collagen remains after only 1-3x104 [10,000 to 30,000] years, except in bones in cool or dry depositional environments." [emphasis added]
