Massive Dinosaur Soft Tissue Find Includes Skin And Feathers

Wow, more and more finds keep coming and now we have feathers, fur and skin.

Massive Dinosaur Soft Tissue Discovery In China – Includes Skin And Feathers!

A fossil bed in China that is being called “Jurassic Park” has yielded perhaps the greatest dinosaur soft tissue discovery of all time. According to media reports, “nearly-complete skeletons” have been discovered that even include skin and feathers. But of course if these dinosaurs are really “160 million years old”, that should be absolutely impossible. Needless to say, this shocking discovery is once again going to have paleontologists scrambling to find a way to prop up the popular myths that they have been promoting. What they have been telling us simply does not fit the facts. The truth is that this latest find is even more evidence that dinosaurs are far, far younger than we have traditionally been taught.

Once upon a time, scientists believed that it would be impossible to find anything other than the hardened fossilized remains of extinct dinosaurs. And if those dinosaurs really were millions of years old, those scientists would have been 100% correct. But instead, we are now starting to find dinosaur soft tissue all over the place. The following is an excerpt from a recent Daily Mail article about this new discovery in China…

Almost more impressive than the diversity of the biota is the preservation of many of the vertebrate specimens, according to the study published in the Journal of Vertebrate Palaeontology.

Fossils include complete or nearly-complete skeletons associated with preserved soft tissues such as feathers, fur, skin or even, in some of the salamanders, external gills.

One is the feathered dinosaur Epidexipteryx whose soft tissues have been revealed by the use of ultraviolet light scanners.

A fossil of the salamander Chunerpeton shows not only the preserved skeleton but also its skin and external gills.

...

In this case, I think that it would be very appropriate to apply Occam’s razor. The reason why we are finding dinosaur bones with soft tissue in them is because they simply are not very old.

And when we carbon date dinosaur bones, it tells us the exact same thing.

Due to the rate that it decays, there should be absolutely no measurable radioactive carbon left in anything that was once living that is greater than 100,000 years old.

So there should be absolutely no measurable radioactive carbon in dinosaur bones.

But instead, that is precisely what we find. Here is one example…

Rather than evidence for a young earth, I think if valid it would be more evidence for a species of dinosaur going extinct relatively recently than anything. Afterall, under evolutionary theory, dinosaurs are still around in the form of birds and crocodiles, just in a different form.

Well that is evidence for dinosaurs and humans existing together, because as you say it shows that dinosaurs went extinct recently rather than millions of years ago.

But surely if these items were found in layers other than were they "belong" in the geologic column that would be huge news. Much bigger news than soft tissue finds.

Another explanation could be the type of material that the soft tissue and bones were found interred in. There was a discovery several decades ago in the United Kingdom where old bodies were found in a bog, very well preserved such that the manner of death (sacrifice if my memory serves me well) was able to be determined. Apparently the organic composition of the mud in the bog prevented normal decomposition of the bodies that were hastily buried there. Additionally the discovery of tissue remains in China doesn't negate all the fossilized bones of dinosaurs already found that are very old.

It is true that some species that are ancient and thought to be extinct "pop up" every now and then the most famous I remember is the Coelacanth.

RE: Here is a link to one of the preserved "Bog bodies. Granted this one is only 4,000 years old but who can say an animal from an older epoch couldn't be preserved thus. http://www.livescience.com/38983-irish-bog-body.html
