Dinosaur Soft Tissue Finally Makes News
ICR News ^ | December 2, 2009 | Brian Thomas, M.S.

Posted on 12/02/2009 8:28:11 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

Although creation-based organizations have reported for over a decade on the technical scientific journal articles published about soft tissue found inside dinosaur remains, mainstream media outlets have largely been silent on the subject. But a recent segment that aired on CBS’s 60 Minutes finally broke the news to a broader audience. The soft tissue issue may be gaining more traction, and even “may be changing the whole dino ballgame,” according to correspondent Lesley Stahl.[1]

The program is currently viewable online at the CBS website. In a field test demonstration to determine whether a dinosaur fossil was real bone, and not bone replaced by minerals, Stahl touched her tongue to it...

Did you check to make sure certain replies were not plagiarized?

"Dinosaur mummy yields organic molecules

‘This is the first dinosaur to reveal intact skin structure,’ expert says"

That of course is before they even start cutting past the skin...

“The existing “skin,” as described in a Proceedings of the Royal Society B paper this week, consists of a mixture of the original cellular components mixed with mineralized material. “

"It clearly was soft tissue. All you ever do is post twisted versions of the facts. If you don’t like it, find another thread."

You need to close your eyes, put your fingers in your ears and shout LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-La as loud and as long as you can because I am not going anywhere. I am going to keep hitting the refresh button on the BS detector every time anyone pulls some confabulated falsehood out of their nether region and demanding we all accept as truth.

Now why don't you try a little empirical sanity check on this. Take a raw chicken leg, bury it in your back yard and simulate the conditions that the dino bone was buried under. Check it in a year or two and get back to us with how much "soft tissue" still remains. (hint: God doesn't need you or anyone else to lie for Him)

What isn’t plagiarized is falsified.

Even you, as limited as you are, should know that we cannot simulate the conditions of the Genesis judgement when the dino was buried.

...or stolen outright in direct violation of posted Copyright and Ethical Use policies????

(Somebody still owes "Natural Plagiarizer" and the IRC a big apology.)

Righhhttt! If your little morality play requires a deus ex machina twist to tie up all of the loose ends and make you feel better.....LOL

Don't miss the truth:

Abstract: Biofilm Micro-Environments In Dinosaur Bone

"Dinosaur bone preserved in the Hell Creek and Lance formations does not generally mineralize the fossil into a solid mass. The spongy trabecular bone in these fossils maintain open voids which provide a cave-like microenvironment for the formation of bacterial biofilms. A scanning electron microscope survey of these micron scale voids identified various types of microstructures both biotic and abiotic. These structures consist of spheres, motile bacteria trackways, preserved gas bubbles, mineralized coatings and biofilm endocasts which survive after the dissolution of the original substrate. The origin of these microstructures is not at all obvious and objects with similar morphology such as ‘spheres' can result from both biologic and inorganic processes. Proper identification requires prior knowledge of identifying characteristics, and may dictate other analytical techniques such as energy dispersive spectroscopy. These micro-environments offer the potential for future discoveries and contain some truly bizarre microstructures.

It seems a new low of silliness has been found. What can one say about such a comment by the ......Using the term Hall Monitor is rather generous.

So how do you explain the fact that we never find dinosaurs above the cretaceous strata?

“The existing “skin,” as described in a Proceedings of the Royal Society B paper this week, consists of a mixture of the original cellular components mixed with mineralized material. “

Okay. Now compare that with the description just offered by one of the other anti-evolutionists:

We find mammoth carcases with considerable skin intact often...The skin will be like hard rawhide, crumbly, with sparse dark brown to almost black hair.
"Cellular components mixed with mineralized material" vs. "rawhide." See the difference? Any explanation yet for why we don't find dinosaurs in a state similar to that mammoth? Or why there are no accounts of dogs being fed dinosaur meat, as there are for mammoth meat?

Ted,
maybe Spifford the bat can tell us how it all relates to Saturn hanging over the north pole.

Truth....another subject you demonstrate absolutely no knowledge of.....LOL We can add that to the list of Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Paleontology, Archeology, Mathematics, Physics, History, Law, Ancient Languages, Theology and Scripture. Were there any classes you passed?

Could it be somewhat like why we see snake or lizzard skins here and there, but not rabbit or gopher skins? Are reptiles and mammals the same?

I'm not arguing. To paraphrase Harry Truman; "I'm not giving you hell, I'm just telling the truth and it feels like hell."
