  Dinosaur blood? Could Jurassic Park finally happen? Well, no. So what happened was researchers were looking at the hind leg bones of Aratasaurus, a small theropod that lived in the Early Cretaceous of what is now Brazil. And they believe they found the structures of red blood cells. 👇👇

  To be fair, Dennis Nedry bid on a large-scale automation and telemetry project under competitive and secretive conditions and somewhat underestimated the scope … especially considering his previous experience as a postal worker. Hammond claimed to spare no expense but the launch timeline was, like some of the stake-holders, aggressive. Next time…

  I think it was only last year that I fully realized that the dinosaur bones we're used to seeing and imagining aren't the actual petrified bones. Rock sediments literally seeped in and replaced the bones. The skeletal fossils that we see are literally just rocks in the shape of the bones there replacing.

  Researchers have discovered intact heme biomolecules and mineralized red blood cells within the limb bones of a 115-million-year-old theropod dinosaur, Aratasaurus museunacionali. This finding provides the oldest verified and chemically proven evidence of blood-derived molecules preserved in the fossil record. # Paleontology # Geochemistry #…

  The universe didn’t come from nothing, most physicists say it always existed in some form. What even is “nothing”? It’s a nonsensical idea.

  'After carefully examining thin slices of the fossils, paleontologists located the mineralized red blood cell molecular components, along with a complex manganese oxide called hausmannite.'

  Unfortunately a lot of Young Earth Creationists Christians still use the soft tissue “discovery” as evidence but twist the findings around.

  I predict after Palmer Luckey's genetically modified guard dog venture fails, this will become his next wildly "profitable" next past-time. Dinosaur Blood y'all! Palmer Luckey's gonna make his own Jurassic Park! https://www. popsci.com/science/first-dinos aur-blood-fossil-discovery/
