More collagen found in dinos. Biochemistry previously said it was "impossible".

Now we have yet another one from 2025, an "exceptionally preserved" Edmontosaurus sacrum with collagen remnants. Before they found it, the models said this stuff should break down way faster, and impossible to be found in dino fossils. Then they find it and suddenly start running shor term lab tests with iron cross linking and whatever, claiming "see, it can last!" But those tests aren't simulating deep time at all. You can't run a lab experiment for 66 million years. They're doing months or a couple years max, then excusing like crazy. So they find it in dino bone, go "whoa, exceptional preservation!", time to invent experiments after the fact to make it fit, and act like it was no big deal. How exactly does this dovetail into the eVoLuTiOn theory and the deep time narrative again? It feels less like settled science and more like "our models were wrong... but trust the updated models bro."

Happy reminder: what you think is rock-solid fAcT today might need another "uh..er..duh" moment next week.

They are now suggesting to start examining dino fossils (collegen enriched bones bro) discovered over the last 100 years. 😆
