No Love for Dinosaur Soft Tissues
Keep in mind that the word fossil is often used loosely in paleontology, not always permineralized (turned to stone). Soft tissues and the like have been found for many years, and fossil hunter Mary Anning did paintings with fossilized octopus ink in 1865. Squid ink was allegedly 165 million years old and also used for artwork.
Believers in an ancient earth were forced to notice soft tissues when Mary Schweitzer announced soft, pliable dinosaur blood vessels in 2004. This could not be ignored. Claiming contamination did not work, so to give Darwin the millions of years he needs his wonders to perform, weird excuses ensued.

The big controversy started here at NC State when Mary Schweitzer posted photos and videos of stretchy tissue inside a T. rex bone in 2004. Have evolutionists and believers in Deep Time been able to get a grip?Ever since Mary Schweitzer found soft, stretchy tissue in a T. rex fossil in 2004, scientists have been trying to come to grips with how some biological tissues and cells could preserve within ancient critters.Notice that the press release admits that these biological tissues and cells exist. They are not denying it, as if misrepresentations or misidentifications have been made. They are not calling them biofilms or instances of contamination. The soft tissues found by Schweitzer and others are not mineral replacements of soft tissue; they are the original soft tissue.
Read the whole thing at "Darwinians Struggle with Dinosaur Soft Tissue." I usually insert a video here, but that will be found at the link. Look for Dr. Brian Thomas.
