Isn’t the primary cause of decay the action of bacteria? If no bacteria get access to the marrow cavity in a bone, is it reasonable to suppose that decay will be retarded?

No agenda, just askin’ questions!

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.”
