Dinosaur Unfossilized Organic Remains
Organic remains in dinosaur bones is a new growing field of secular science, even though it has been proven that these remains cannot last over one million years in the best of conditions. Even more research is being done by creation scientists at the Institute for Creation Research. Three-dimensional examinations of the blood-like cells under an electron microscope revealed that they had nuclei, so human red blood cells could not have contaminated the sample, because they have no nuclei. And when Maidment analysed the chemical composition of the red blood cells with a technique called mass spectrometry, the spectrum was surprisingly similar to that of blood taken from a living bird, an emu, adding further evidence to it being from a dinosaur. Maidment is now hoping to investigate more samples. “We want to understand how this preservation can occur, how far back in time it happens, and what type of rock it happens in,” she says. The discovery was welcomed by John Asa...
