T. rex Flesh Recovered
I'm late to blog on this but if you are not aware of it already, the recent issue of Science Magazine has a paper discussing the recovery of soft tissue from a Tyrannosauraus rex fossil. The tissue was taken from a femur and demineralized which resulted in tissue that is stretchy and appears to have pretty good preservation of microscopic structures. My understanding is that there is a slim to none chance of obtaining any genetic material. Nevertheless it is interesting and amazing. You can read a little more about it at Scientific American.com.
