“I’m surprised any bones have survived a million years…”
Haha! I know what you Mean, Man!
This discussion with an Australian paleontologist transcript with pictures…
They talk about finding red blood cells and collagen in a “triceratops” horn… I think…
Pretty interesting…
If you’re into out of place fossils…
Could we have “Dino DNA,” Mr. Dale!?!
(Jurassic Park)
There’s Pictures of the Microscope Images of the Cells…

“We use a special microscope to study thin sections of the bones and they're full of blood clots, just about every bone we've found is full of clots, now that is significant. It is significant because there's a medical condition and it's called disseminated intravascular coagulation. So when a victim, particularly a mammal dies by drowning, their blood clotting cascades, goes violently in one direction and everything in their body clots, here are clots in bright field microscopy.”
“When we first uncovered it, it broke in half and it had a whole white fungal mat growing on one piece of the horn, this is so significant, because this is a first of its kind find, as a world first that shouldn't be minimized.”
“Both of the bones we recover from these dinosaur graveyards, most of the bones we recover from these digs, are bone, they're not rock. So I can dissolve almost every single one of them in this weak acid, which is used by hospitals every day of the week around the world, so we're not reinventing the wheel. We're actually using standard protocols to dissolve these bones, and all the soft tissues are falling out, they're spectacular, the deeper we dig the higher the preservation is. There's a whole other area of study called suspension of cells in calcite. This is where the calcite came in, in a liquid form, and infiltrated everything and then per mineralized it, and you can see this in the latest dimetrodon paper that we published in the Microscopy Society of America Journal, "microscopy today", it's online now. If you internet search microscopy today's current issue you can download it or look at it Here or just go to https://dstri.org/ it's up there for everybody to see ! We're showing these kinds of preservations of tissue in calcite in 290 million year old tissue, of course we don’t agree with the 290-my. I believe the sky's the limit with this. One of the things we hope to do is to identify students who have an aptitude for this, because I need workers, I have to duplicate and triplicate and multiply our efforts here, so that's one of our goals with these labs is to identify students. And look, everybody wants to take the Lab course, I understand that. Right now we're focusing on the students who are the worst off economically among us, often they're our future, so we want to focus on them but everything's up for free ! all our videos are free ! on the https://dstri.org/ or on the youtube channel = https://youtube.com/user/MarkHArmitage which I think you were mentioning before? And all the papers are available, and our books, you can download our free books and give them away, you give away as many as you want ! If you want hard copies you can contact us through the website, we'll send you hard copies, we print them and give them away, we want you to give them away.” ~Above Quotes From:
