I’ve often wondered that myself. Nobody has ever seen a dragon, but every culture has them, even the Aztecs.....................

I seriously hope someone stores some well preserved cells from Ann Margret, Raquel Welch, Sophia Lauren, among others.
When the technology is advanced enough, I am ordering me a dozen!

Is that picture of the proud paleontologist who found the specimen? She looks very professorial.

With all the discussion of dragons embedded in every culture, obviously they were alive 600-800 years ago in Europe and Asia where those writings originated. Or maybe not
To: Alex Murphy
A number of these soft tissue finds have been carbon-dated to 20,000 to 40,000 years old.
In fact, Mary Schweitzer, who was referenced in the article, carbon-dated some. But she claimed said she couldn’t recall how old they were.
To: Tennessean4Bush
Of course, they co-existed with humans. Anyone who has ever watched an episode of The Flintstones knows that.

I mean, worst case scenario. Suppose the experiment goes awry, and the clones escape and run amuck. Would you rather it was a group of T-rex’s or a group of Ann-Margrets?

No. That is the Emu blood.

Ive often wondered that myself. Nobody has ever seen a dragon, but every culture has them, even the Aztecs..................... My operating theory is that over the Millennia, all these different cultures have come across dinosaur bones.
When people find a dinosaur skeleton, they recognize instantly that such an animal must have existed at one time, and for all they know, could still exist somewhere.
Once the rumor is spread, it will take on a life of it's own.

Sounds like a great idea; then have a large jungle park where people can see them in their natural habitat and all.

It’s always refreshing to hear the views of an eminent molecular paleontologist like yourself. Given your expertise, how do you respond to the explanations of Mary Schweitzer as to the chemical and molecular processes that allow for the preservation of certain proteins in collagen for over 145 million years? Do you think her analysis which claims that the presence of iron and the generation of free radicals that have the ability to tightly bond proteins is faulty? If so, why?
