“Shweitzer, for instance, believed that some of the remains were those of red bloods because of the shape of the remains.”

No, she didn’t. She didn’t recognize red blood cells at all because she wasn’t expecting to see any. It took a veterinarian to recognize blood cells, because he wasn’t blinded by evolutionary assumptions. The vet, according to Shweitzer, turned out to be right.

Now how about you explain why she missed something this obvious. & while you’re at it, explain her boss’s reaction. Why did he immediately dismiss the possibility that she had discovered blood cells? [& spare me the routine about them not being blood cells. There is a photo of the cells still in the vein. That’s how the vet was able to recognize them & call them to Shweitzer’s attention. (Then there’s Shweitzer’s own identification of the round red discs as blood cells. Look it up.)]

Actually, at that point Mary wasn't seeing much at all. She was having trouble preparing the slides, and went to a vet histologist who specializes in preparing slides made from bone for help, and she then showed the slides to a pathologist who believed them to be blood cells.
I don't think it would be obvious to a nonspecialist.
"& while you’re at it, explain her boss’s reaction. Why did he immediately dismiss the possibility that she had discovered blood cells?"
Are you referring to Jack Horner? He never dismissed the possibility, and in fact was immediately open to the possibility.
