Re: [Geology2] Could there still be soft tissue inside the bones of an 80-million-year-old T. Rex?



Nah. I'm used to handling 'gators and wild snakes. The problem I forsee is providing enough food for the critter and a proper enclosure with enough warmth--that is IF said T was an ectotherm. Of course, that's one of the questions that would be answered by a living creature.

Hmm... perhaps I could ease into this with a half dozen Compsognathi? The ultimate would be a raptor, of course. Oh, we'd have to build a Carnatosaurus, a Spineosaurus, a Pterodon, and a few extinct penguins. I could easily say I had lived a full life if I saw any of these creatures.

PS Forgot... Gallimimus. And an Archeopteryx. Yeah.

Could there still be soft tissue inside the bones of an 80-million-year-old T. Rex? You will meet America's most prominent paleontologist and his team who think so in our next piece. Jack Horner was the inspiration for the lead character in the classic film "Jurassic Park." The Montana-based fossil sleuth who, together with his team, has found more T. Rex specimens than anyone else, is on a mission, he tells Lesley Stahl. "I want to know everything, everything we can know about [dinosaurs] and make one if we can." Yes, he wants to make a dinosaur and thinks he can do it within five years!
