Frickin' cool. Maybe we can make that Lost World theme park after all.

"Paleontologists have discovered [a href="vny!://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20050326/fob1.asp"]soft tissue inside the fossilized thigh bone of a T-Rex[/a]. The tissue included blood vessels, bone cells, and perhaps even blood cells." From the article: "When paleontologists find fossilized dinosaur bones during a dig, they usually do everything in their power to protect them, using tools like toothbrushes to carefully unearth the bones without inflicting any damage.
However, when scientists found a massive Tyrannosaurus rex thigh bone in a remote region of Montana a few months ago, they were forced to break the bone in two in order to fit it into the transport helicopter. This act of necessity revealed a startling surprise: soft tissue that had seemingly resisted fossilization still existed inside the bone. This tissue... was so well preserved that it was still stretchy and flexible."
Yeah, but was it fingerproof?
"Soft T-Rex tissue found"
What a fascinating find !
This proves conclusively that T. rex had no better habits than modern man does, and that littering our streets didn't start with us.
