A salamander allegedly “18 million years old” is the latest fossil to produce astonishingly well preserved soft tissue. This time, it’s muscle tissue, and it is supposedly the most pristine example yet.

Happy Veteran’s Day!
Have they ever been able to get any DNA from something like this?
Let me guess, you think the world is 4,000 years old and that people rode dinosuars to work?
The Flinstones were a cartoon... I know that is hard to beleive but it was only a cartoon based on the Honey Mooners... nothing more.
You can not get religion from cartoons. You can’t base your world reality on sketches of Bugs Bunny and Popeye.
Yes, there was a TREX the pulled DNA from a few years past.

Wilma, what’s for dinner?
Whatever happened to the intact cave person found in the ice a few years back.
Means nothing, despite all the binky bawling and rattle-shaking.
Tiny outlyers don’t mean an ID — they just need more research. There is always a natural explanation.
These are so silly — but those who understand know better.
*pat* *pat* — but cute.
They found DNA in the dinos, but their still working to establish where the DNA came from.
Thanks for the ping!
From you linked article:
“very little degradation since it was originally FOSSILISED … making it the highest quality soft tissue preservation ever documented in the fossil record.” (my emphasis)
And you claim it's 6,550 years old? Proving that should be easy, it should still contain lots of radioactive carbon (the half-life around 5,700 years).
So, how many times are you going to post the same story from different sources?
Sorry, I meant 5,550 years old, of course.
Have you been to this website before? I would venture to guess that 99% of Freepers are creationists.
Yeah cause we humans would simply cease to exist if any man-eaters still roamed the planet. Wait what no - doohhhh!!!

I don’t see you complaining about people posting multiple stories on the same subject when it comes global warming, the fall of the Berlin Wall, etc, etc. I will keep posting these stories as often as they come up, as they all approach the subject from a slightly different angle, and new details are coming out all the time. Could it be you are afraid for FReepers to learn the truth of the sad state of Darwin’s evo-atheist creation myth?
15 posts and no Helen Thomas pics yet?!?
AND you have previously posted this:

I guess you need something to do while the grown-ups are busy at work.
For me, lunch time is over.
Be my guest :o)
Well then please tell us your natural explanation for where life came from? Did it really all happen by chance?! /s
>>Well then please tell us your natural explanation for where life came from? Did it really all happen by chance?! /s<<
LOL
Nothing really to see here folks; unless watching a guy lie repeatedly is of interest.
Read the orignal article:
http://www.physorg.com/news176660912.html
rather than the mendacious propaganda posted by GGG and you´ll see that the scientists found extraordinarily well preserved, *fossilized* soft tissue elements of the Salamander rather than the more commonly found bone or dental elements.
“Have you been to this website before? I would venture to guess that 99% of Freepers are creationists.”
No way!
Thanks...
How cool.

Maybe GGG doesn't think he will get his ass handed to him again.....LOL
It’s not a different story on the same subject. It’s the same silly salamander story. (note the alliteration) Did I say anything about your penguin story? Apparently you simply weren’t satisfied with the response from the first one, so you posted it again from a different “source”. As far as exposing freepers to your posts, I’m a fan of the Friday Silliness threads, so why not yours? I was just hoping for some originality instead of clogging up the site with re-posts.
I am a creationist. God created the heavens and the Earth. But I do not believe that it was only six thousand, or sixty thousand, or six hundred thousand years ago.
A day with God is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day (at the time that was written most folks had no concept of millions, let alone billions). What is a few billions of years to The Eternal?
When we finally meet Him, He'll clarify it all for us. What is important right now is that we accept the sacrifice of His only begotten Son as our salvation.
Or how about this from Schweitzer re: T. rex:
“ In modern bone, removing the minerals leaves supple, soft organic materials that are much easier to work with in a lab. In contrast, fossilized bone is believed to be completely mineralized, meaning no organics are present. Attempting to dissolve the minerals from a piece of fossilized bone, so the theory goes, would merely dissolve the entire fossil. But the team was surprised by what actually happened when they removed the minerals from the T. rex femur fragment. The removal process left behind stretchy bone matrix material that, when examined microscopically, seemed to show blood vessels, osteocytes, or bone building cells, and other recognizable organic features.”
Hah!
Wishful thinking on your part.
The real question. When God created Man, did he cross his arms and blink (Jeannie style) or wiggle his nose (Samantha style).
You might also be interested in reply #30. All the best—GGG
Also see #30...that should really make you mad, as I keep posting it over and over and over to incredulous evos.
I'll let HT verify it.............
It was only a matter of time ;o)
EXCELLENT POINT, JAIME!
“Wrong again, Natufian. The authors of the paper say that the “the muscle tissue is organically preserved in three dimensions, with circulatory vessels infilled with blood.””
Oh, come off it. Your wilful misrepresentations would be irritating if they weren´t so laughable. I´m sure that you´re aware that lying to further the cause is only valid in Islam.
Here is an abstract from the actual paper presented by the scientists who did this research on the fossolized salamander:
“The very labile (decay-prone), non-biomineralized, tissues of organisms are rarely fossilized. Occurrences thereof are invaluable supplements to a body fossil record dominated by biomineralized tissues, which alone are extremely unrepresentative of diversity in modern and ancient ecosystems. Fossil examples of extremely labile tissues (e.g. muscle) that exhibit a high degree of morphological fidelity are almost invariably replicated by inorganic compounds such as calcium phosphate. There is no consensus as to whether such tissues can be preserved with similar morphological fidelity as organic remains, except when enclosed inside amber. Here, we report fossilized musculature from an approximately 18 Myr old salamander from lacustrine sediments of Ribesalbes, Spain. The muscle is preserved organically, in three dimensions, and with the highest fidelity of morphological preservation yet documented from the fossil record. Preserved ultrastructural details include myofilaments, endomysium, layering within the sarcolemma, and endomysial circulatory vessels infilled with blood. Slight differences between the fossil tissues and their counterparts in extant amphibians reflect limited degradation during fossilization. Our results provide unequivocal evidence that high-fidelity organic preservation of extremely labile tissues is not only feasible, but likely to be common. This is supported by the discovery of similarly preserved tissues in the Eocene Grube Messel biota.”

Now that theme song will be in my head all afternoon.
Yabba Dabba Doo!
You don’t make me mad. You amuse me. That is why I hope for new articles instead of retreads. I’m not a fan of sit-com reruns.
In case the length or the big words in the abstract from my previous post causes you problems, the operative sentence is as follows:
“Here, we report fossilized musculature from an approximately 18 Myr old salamander...”
Lying, even if it is spread your version of the Word, won´t endear you to God.
"Bone marrow in ca. 10 Ma frogs and salamanders from the Miocene of Libros, Spain, represents the first fossilized example of this extremely decay-prone tissue. The bone marrow, preserved in three dimensions as an organic residue, retains the original texture and red and yellow color of hematopoietic and fatty marrow, respectively; moldic osteoclasts and vascular structures are also present."

See my last. You have got your head deeply buried in the sand as per usual.
“the first fossilized example of this extremely decay-prone tissue. “
“fossilized” Seems pretty clear from your own example.
You need to be careful about what they are calling fossils these days. For instance, take a look at the following description of a T rex. “fossil”:
“ In modern bone, removing the minerals leaves supple, soft organic materials that are much easier to work with in a lab. In contrast, fossilized bone is believed to be completely mineralized, meaning no organics are present. Attempting to dissolve the minerals from a piece of fossilized bone, so the theory goes, would merely dissolve the entire fossil. But the team was surprised by what actually happened when they removed the minerals from the T. rex femur fragment. The removal process left behind stretchy bone matrix material that, when examined microscopically, seemed to show blood vessels, osteocytes, or bone building cells, and other recognizable organic features.”
Yeah, you’re right. You are starting to irk me. But your threads are usually good for a laugh or two.
