Animal fossils usually provide very little opportunity to study the actual animal tissues, because in fossils the animals' living tissues have been largely replaced by minerals. Thus, scientists were very excited recently when it appeared that a 70-million-year-old fossil of Tyrannosaurus rex (T. rex), a dinosaur, might still contain remains of the actual tissues of the animal. The discovery was made when researchers deliberately broke open the T. rex’s leg bone, thereby exposing its insides to reveal materials that seem to be remains of blood vessels, red blood cells, and collagen matrix.
First, the breaking of the fossilized leg bone revealed many small branching channels inside, which probably correspond to hollows in the bones where blood vessels were once located. The exciting finding was the presence of a soft, flexible organic substance inside the channels. This soft substance may very well represent the remains of the actual blood vessels of T. rex.
Second, microscopic examination of the various parts of the inner bone revealed the presence of spheres that could be the remains of red blood cells. Tests showed that the spheres contained iron-a material vital to the role of red blood cells in transporting oxygen to tissues. Moreover, the spheres had dark red centers (substances with iron tend to be reddish in color) and were also about the size of red blood cells.
Third, scientists performed a test on the dinosaur leg bone that showed that it contained collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that is a main component of living bone tissue, in which it forms a so-called collagen matrix. Collagen (or its chemical derivatives) is exactly the kind of biochemical material that one would expect to find in association with bone tissue.
The article explains that recently researcher revealed some remains of tissues in the fossil of tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur's leg bone. The lecture completely opposes the point made in the articles. the professor says that the identification of remaining tissues is skeptical.
First, The passage affirms that the leg bone contains small branching channels and it had soft flexible organic substance. This point is contradicted by the lecturer. he says that that substance is not the blood vessel and it is something else. He further says that it may be bacteria that colonize and formed hollow channels, also left behind the trace of residues.
Second, the microscopic examination proves the presence of spheres in the inner bone. The professor claims this point by explaining that spheres are not the remain of red blood cells. Furthermore, the other fossils of primitive that also found at the same place, didn't have spheres. So it may be originated by some reddish minerals.
Finally, The reading proves another test which showed that leg bone contained collagen. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He says that collagen didn't exist more than 10,000 years and that fossil is 70, million-year-old so it contradicts the point made in the reading. He further says that it may come from other sources like from human during research and handling.
