"The tissue wasn't found soft. It was found fossilized."

Then why did the idiot that wrote the press release say it was found as "soft tissue?"

Because the idiot that wrote this article is a CREATIONIST idiot. You expect truth from a Creationist! And I thought thinking the Sun went around the Earth was ignorant!

“Soft tissues and cell-like microstructures derived from skeletal elements of a well-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex (MOR 1125) were represented by four components in fragments of demineralized cortical and/or medullary bone”

She demineralized the bone. Fossilization replaces most tissues with mineral. She removed the minerals thus making it soft.

Now why do we find BONE from modern species, but only mineralized fossils from dinosaurs?
