Nov 6, 2009 More soft tissue has been found in a fossil this time in a salamander said to be 18 million years old. The article on PhysOrg called it the highest quality soft tissue preservation ever documented in the fossil record.
Unlike the previous discoveries of fossil tissue inside bone or amber, the recognizable sinewy muscle tissue was found tucked inside the body of the animal. The scientists claim that their discovery is unequivocal evidence that high-fidelity organic preservation of extremely decay prone soft tissues is more common in the fossil record - the only physical record of the history of life on earth.
Were the scientists at University College Dublin surprised by their discovery of this fossil in southern Spain? Yes and no; they acknowledge that soft-tissue preservation is extremely rare, but also think that more is to be found. A new treasure hunt is on. Using the same sampling methods and high resolution imaging that led to this find, scientists will now begin to investigate existing fossils in national museums and elsewhere across the world, for similar types of soft tissue preservation. This was not taken as a challenge to Darwinian time scales. The article ended, further discoveries will help scientists paint a better picture of life on earth since the beginning of evolutionary time.
Notice that the evolutionists dont want to tell the truth; they want to paint a picture. Evolutionary time is dancing in the visions of their closed eyes. Instead of seeing the falsification of evolutionary time, they see its vindication sketched out on the canvas of imagination. View their picture as abstract art of visions and dreams, not as the history of the world.

So, GGG - I’m curious - how long ago do you think dinosaurs roamed the earth (i.e., t-rex, etc..)?
if i gave a rip, i’d use it- but i don’t
I know the terminology they use can be confusing, but make no mistake, they are finding dino soft tissue, to enclude proteins, connective tissue, blood vessels and even blood cells:
Dinosaur soft tissue and proteineven more confirmation!
Mary Schweitzer announces even stronger evidence, this time from a duckbilled dino fossil, of even more proteinsand the same amazingly preserved vessel and cell structures as before.

Dinos existed at least up to the time of (and a tiny number just after) the flood of Noah, which is why we are finding so many dinos with soft tissue still intact.
Yeeha!!! Saddle up and ride that T-Rex!
More FOSSILIZED “soft tissue structures” being passed off as “soft muscle tissue” , I see.
Move along folks, this is not the “soft tissue” you are being told it is....this is FOSSILIZED soft tissue STRUCTURE, nothing more.
....bet they don’t even know WTH “soft tissue” is....and it has nothing to do with being “soft.”
CLEARLY, the dinosaur crossed the road to eat the vegetables on the other side. Wait, did they even have roads pre-Fall?
So why do you assume soft tissue could last 6,000 years, but not 18,000,000 years?
Once the specimen is sealed and the decay process stops, the length of time becomes irrelevant.
Easy one....dinosaurs lived with Man until 4,351 years ago...when the Flood killed them all.
I’m heading over to read this link 3G, but here’s something I found on the dino “Dakota.”
“They believe the hippo-sized Dakota fell into a watery grave, with little oxygen present to speed along the decay process. Meanwhile, very fine sediments reacted with the soft tissues of the animal, forming a kind of cement.”
So have there ever been man and dino bones found in the same strata of earth?
I’m not poking fun by the way - just asking.
“the terminology they use can be confusing”
That’s for sure! One of the articles I read about “Dakota” referred to it as a “mummy” in one paragraph. If you just read that one sentence, you’d think one thing. But, in the following paragraph, it became clear the “mummification” was actually the fossilization of the whole body. Bones, soft tissue, and even the skin! They used a giant CT scanner to “cut” through the different layers of the fossilized “mummy.”
What they look like has no relevance. Can you provide an elemental analysis? The fossilization is a substitutional process in which the organic portion of the tissue is replaced in three steps; carbonization, premineralization, and petrification. The resulting fossil is stone that can look exactly like the original material.
“...a salamander said to be 18 million years old.”
The Medicare costs alone.....
I know it’s difficult for evos to swallow, but they are indeed finding dino soft tissue, and they are finding it on a fairly regular basis now:
Oldest Dinosaur Protein Found — Blood Vessels, More

I know it's difficult for YEC's to swallow but National Geographic can be read by non-YEC's too. The following link is to an article in a subsequent issue of the National Geographic that casts doubt on many of the soft tissue finds.

Additionally, if the fossilization process can be interrupted such that carbonization is not permitted to happen (maintaining an anaerobic state and no exposure to heat above 100C) soft tissue elements such as proteins can be maintained as well as the fruit in your momma's canned preserves.
As usual your science is a wrong as your theological interpretations. No controversy has been resolved because one does not exist. You have not proved your young age assertion for the specimens you posted as satisfying neither of the conditions I stated. Without elemental analysis you haven't established that it is even organic or if it is organic the conditions of its anaerobic preservation.
