T. rex sequence had similarities to those of chickens, and that the mastodon was more closely related to mammals, including the African elephant.

COOL

Jurassic Park! Just don’t make any of those crazy-ass Velociraptors.

This is a really cool story.

You'd need a heck of a big beer can to roast a T-rex. ;-)

Now this is a fascinating article.

Science is truly an amazing process.

I am sorry, but it has to be said...If any of you are so stupid as to believe that tissue can survive tens of millions of years and remain soft tissue, you are stupid beyond hope.

There is at least one other thread on this topic that you (editor surveyor and DLR) weren’t pinged to (at least from this end).

[nonsporting]

"Scientists had long assumed that the material in fossil bones would not be preserved after millions of years of burial,..."

Well, maybe these T-Rex Tenders are not older than 1 million years. Did anyone ever consider this? Of course not, because that would blow the whole evolutionary timeline. The similarity of collagen may very well suggest that the 68-million year age for T-rex is mistaken, not as "distant" as commonly thought.

Since the age attributed to T-Rex is due to corresponding dates of geologic formations the fossils are found it, this also suggests that these formations are not as old as once thought.

Thanks AdmSmith for the ping.

Cruelly enough, “nipple-teeth” were indeed mammals...

“Mastodons or Mastodonts (meaning ‘nipple-teeth’) are members of the extinct genus Mammut of the order Proboscidea and form the family Mammutidae; they resembled, but were distinct from, the woolly mammoth which belongs to the family Elephantidae... Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Proboscidea Family: Mammutidae Genus: Mammut”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon

“Proboscidea is an order containing only one family of living animals, Elephantidae, the elephants, with three living species (African Bush Elephant, African Forest Elephant, and Asian Elephant)”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proboscidea

“The elephants (Elephantidae) are a family of pachyderm, and the only remaining family in the order Proboscidea in the class Mammalia. Elephantidae has three living species: the African Bush Elephant, the African Forest Elephant (until recently known collectively as the African Elephant), and the Asian Elephant (also known as the Indian Elephant). Other species have become extinct since the last ice age, which ended about 10,000 years ago, the Mammoth being the most famous of these. Elephants are mammals...”

You've probably noticed that I restrained myself from pinging the GGG list? I had my reasons. ;')

[ZULU]

“The protein fragments in the T. rex fossil appear to most closely match amino acid sequences found in collagen of present-day chickens, lending support to the idea that birds and dinosaurs are evolutionarily related.”

“T. rex Francese.” Has an appetizing ring to it. But the left-overs would defintely be a problem.
