Repeating the same lies over and over and over....does not make the ad nauseum correct.

There has been exactly ZERO “soft, squishy tissues” found in dinosaur bones, Dr....er....Brian Thomas MS*....and if Brian Thomas MS* knew WTF he was talking about, he’d stop lying about it.....but the truth isn’t what B rian Thomas MS* is interested in.

What HAS been found in fossilized dinosaur bones is FOSSILIZED “soft tisssue structures” that are then de-mineralized.

....but Brian Thomas MS* doesn’t want you to really know that part....all he wants is for you to thinnk that there’s soft-squishy tissue found and then you too will believe that Man walked the Earth at the same time as 100+ large meat eating dinosaurs that all somehow dies 4,351 years ago because they somehow missed their seat on the Ark.

Next article to post would be the “dinosaur skin” that was found. (corrected to the truth....fossilized dinosaur skin structure)

>and then you too will believe that Man walked the Earth at the same time as 100+ large meat eating dinosaurs that all somehow dies 4,351 years ago because they somehow missed their seat on the Ark.

Who said anything about them missing their seat on the ark? They could have gone extinct before then, they could have been brought on-board as [fertilized] eggs, or they could have been hatchlings when they boarded. In all those cases, we would expect that all of the dinosaurs that were not on the ark were dead at that point.

Though you are correct in that what was found was "soft" after being de-minerialized, you are forgetting that the bones in question, from the Hell Creek formation, were reported to have "stunk".

"This shifting perspective clicked with Schweitzer's intuitions that dinosaur remains were more than chunks of stone. Once, when she was working with a T. rex skeleton harvested from Hell Creek, she noticed that the fossil exuded a distinctly organic odor. "It smelled just like one of the cadavers we had in the lab who had been treated with chemotherapy before he died," she says. Given the conventional wisdom that such fossils were made up entirely of minerals, Schweitzer was anxious when mentioning this to Horner. "But he said, 'Oh, yeah, all Hell Creek bones smell,'" she says. To most old-line paleontologists, the smell of death didn't even register. To Schweitzer, it meant that traces of life might still cling to those bones."

The prevailing wisdom now is --- we don't know enough about how such soft tissue structures could be preserved ---not, like you say, "it's only been de-mineralized!" suggesting it had been fully fossilized like most other dinosaur bones, thus "nothing to see here folks" "just move along"...

That is simply wrong. You are lying or read something that's a lie.

It was big news indeed last year when Schweitzer announced she had discovered blood vessels and structures that looked like whole cells inside that T. rex bone—the first observation of its kind. The finding amazed colleagues, who had never imagined that even a trace of still-soft dinosaur tissue could survive. After all, as any textbook will tell you, when an animal dies, soft tissues such as blood vessels, muscle and skin decay and disappear over time, while hard tissues like bone may gradually acquire minerals from the environment and become fossils. Schweitzer, one of the first scientists to use the tools of modern cell biology to study dinosaurs, has upended the conventional wisdom by showing that some rock-hard fossils tens of millions of years old may have remnants of soft tissues hidden away in their interiors. “The reason it hasn’t been discovered before is no right-thinking paleontologist would do what Mary did with her specimens. We don’t go to all this effort to dig this stuff out of the ground to then destroy it in acid,” says dinosaur paleontologist Thomas Holtz Jr., of the University of Maryland. “It’s great science.” The observations could shed new light on how dinosaurs evolved and how their muscles and blood vessels worked. And the new findings might help settle a long-running debate about whether dinosaurs were warmblooded, coldblooded—or both.
