The fact that putrescin is still present is evidence that these fossils *aren't* 'millions of years old', not evidence that there is some unknown condition that would preserve putrescin for 'millions of years'.

Actually it can be tested, is being tested, and will continue to be tested. Its as simple as taking a air sample, examining the matter that the oder is from and determining whether the odor is from the material of a cadaver or something other. Then you might question and explain the odor.

I see that you are very confused. It's not as simple as testing for the presence of putrescin. It is as impossible as burying a dead animal, waiting 68 million years to dig it up and *then* test for putrescin.

With reasoning skills like that, I can see why you think evolution is 'true'.

Sheesh.
