"you are the only one posting cartoons and sneers to avoid answering the challenge of how soft tissue could possibly survive for millions of years."
Why is the "Journal of Science" a cartoon in your tiny mind? Is all of Science a 'cartoon' in your mind?? Your hero, Martin Luther, believed the same thing. But isn't your supernatural point of view a bit dated??
How is this article from the Journal of Science, a 'cartoon'. Maybe you need to find a classroom!!
And as to the dinosaur question...that was fully answered! And then you went to wiggling like a worm and spewing ignorant insults! :-) :-)
From Solon!
"The fact is that fossils of dinosaurs ARE from the Cretaceous era which was from 65.5 to 145.5 million years ago. The collagen found does not change these findings in any way. It is just another example of these Christian Fundies grasping at straws.
But it is still important to answer why and how the collagen was preserved and most of the answer has been found--although the chemistry still is being worked on. Basically, when iron is released after death, the free radicals act as a preservative in the same way as formaldehyde. This, combined with a quick burial in porous sandstone, acted to prevent complete degradation in this instance
You must keep in mind that the age of these specimens was scientifically determined long before it was known that collagen was sometimes preserved as well as bones! It is simply a matter of examining the chemistry. We know the age of the bones! And unless you are a Fundy...you will appreciate that the collagen is the same age to the second!!"
Greg or ee's 'cartoon' from the JOURNAL OF SCIENCE!! All science is a cartoon to Greg or ee the Fundy boy!!
Short, rapid warming events, known as interstadials, coincided with major extinction events, according to a team of scientists from Australia and the United States.

“Abrupt warming has repeatedly played a key role in mass extinction events of large animals in Earth’s past,” said the scientists, led by Prof Alan Cooper from the University of Adelaide.
“By contrast, extreme cold periods, such as the last glacial maximum, do not appear to correspond with these extinctions.” |
