Dry Aged Bones: Soft Tissue and Cells in Dinosaur Fossils
Description
Beginning in the 1990s, there have been several reports about preserved bio-macromolecules in Mesozoic dinosaur fossils. Due to experience in the laboratory in handling substances like these, flexible tissue and fragments from bio-macromolecules – millions of years old – are completely unexpected. What is the interpretation of this experimental data and what may it tell us about earth history? Chemist Harald Binder explains.
