References the discovery that dinosaur fossils contain biological materials including red blood cells, collagen, retinal tissues, skin, various organs, muscular, osteocytes, blood vessels, and many other proteins. The
“puzzle” of this discovery is explained by Yale University Molecular Paleontologist Jasmina Wiemann as, “According to the laws of chemistry and physics…the preservation of dinosaur proteins are paradoxical (because)…within a few hundred thousand years…all these structures would be…completely degraded.” In other words, this discovery directly defies these fossils being even a mere one million years old.
