Nothing really to see here folks; unless watching a guy lie repeatedly is of interest.

Read the orignal article:

http://www.physorg.com/news176660912.html

rather than the mendacious propaganda posted by GGG and you´ll see that the scientists found extraordinarily well preserved, *fossilized* soft tissue elements of the Salamander rather than the more commonly found bone or dental elements.

Wrong again, Natufian. The authors of the paper say that the "the muscle tissue is organically preserved in three dimensions, with circulatory vessels infilled with blood."

Or how about this from Schweitzer re: T. rex:

“ In modern bone, removing the minerals leaves supple, soft organic materials that are much easier to work with in a lab. In contrast, fossilized bone is believed to be completely mineralized, meaning no organics are present. Attempting to dissolve the minerals from a piece of fossilized bone, so the theory goes, would merely dissolve the entire fossil. But the team was surprised by what actually happened when they removed the minerals from the T. rex femur fragment. The removal process left behind stretchy bone matrix material that, when examined microscopically, seemed to show blood vessels, osteocytes, or bone building cells, and other recognizable organic features.”
