67-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Unearthed in North Dakota

Reuters News service is reporting that a prehistoric dinosaur has been unearthed in North Dakota. The dinosaur is known as a Hadrosaur, is fossilized, and has remained intact. It is reported that this particular dinosaur lived on the earth 67 million years ago. This of course, begs the question, are we supposed to believe that soft tissue can be preserved for as long as sixty seven million years?

The find is even more extraordinary in that the flesh of the dinosaur turned to stone and scientist have the ability to see the texture of its skin as well as the muscular structure of the beast. Now, science tells us that we must believe that the earth has gone through several changes throughout its existence. The earth has gone through ice ages and through times of global warming and all of this has taken place since the time of the dinosaurs. Nevertheless, the tissue of this creature can survive millions of years through all of these changes.

However, this is not the first dinosaur that scientist have fond with tissue that has been preserved. Scientists found the remains of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and had to break its leg in order to airlift it by chopper. However, when they broke the leg they found soft tissue inside as well as complete blood vessels and the contents were still soft and retained their elasticity.

We find in many civilizations that the mention of huge beasts is prevalent, although, they were known as something else, dragons, Behemoth, sea serpents, and Leviathan. We have many stories in ancient history which we now claim to be nothing more than fairy tales, but what if they were not fairy tales at all, but instead factual accounts of the beast that we now call dinosaurs. We like to label things as fanciful stories if we have not witnessed them in our lifetime and this is exactly what happened with these creatures.
