![]() The report here of red blood cells in an unfossilized section of dinosaur bone is not the first time such bone has been found. To claim that bone could remain intact for millions of year without being fossilized (mineralized) stretches credibility. Weiland also states “to find unfossilized dinosaur bone is already an indication more consistent with a young age for the fossils.” And, in a sidebar titled, “More on Fresh Dino Bone,” he states: It speaks volumes for the Bible’s account of a recent creation. He concludes with the following statement:Įvidence of hemoglobin, and the still-recognizable shapes of red blood cells, in unfossilized dinosaur bone is powerful testimony against the whole idea of dinosaurs living millions of years ago. Weiland describes several tests the researchers conducted that indicate the presence of hemoglobin-the protein in red blood cells that makes blood red and carries oxygen throughout the body. According to Schweitzer, “So far, we haven’t been able to.” Horner suggested the researchers try to prove objects were not blood cells. When one their colleagues looked at the objects, he shouted, “You’ve got red blood cells!” Mary Schweitzer, the lead researcher, was skeptical the objects could be blood cells and expressed her doubts to her boss, famous paleontologist Jack Horner. Examining a thin section of the bone through a microscope, they noticed tiny round objects, translucent red with a dark center, in the blood vessel channels. Wieland reports the researchers noticed some parts deep inside the T. The article states Montana State University researchers found “traces of real blood” in the leg bone of a Tyrannosaurus rex. The major source of dinosaur blood claim is a 1997 article by Carl Wieland titled “ Sensational Dinosaur Blood Report!” 2 Wieland is a young-earth creationist and managing director of Creation Ministries International, Australia (part of Answers in Genesis at the time this article was originally written). 1 Given its wide dispersal, it is important to assess the validity of the claim. It has even been presented to school boards as evidence of a young earth and reason for allowing creation “science” into the classroom. It is stated in much of their printed material and on many of their websites. The dinosaur blood claim has gained wide acceptance in young-earth circles. They argue dinosaur bone should be completely fossilized if it is millions of years old, but the discovery of blood cells in “fresh” bone proves dinosaur remains are only a few thousand years old. This, they say, is proof of a recent creation. The Velociraptor’s hands were grabbing the head shield of the Protoceratops, while its sickle claw appears to be lodged deep into the body cavity.Some creationists claim scientists have found dinosaur blood-actual red blood cells-in the bone of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Paleontologists uncovered a Velociraptor apparently embroiled in a fight to the death with a Protoceratops. Dinosaur Bones Hard for Evolutionists to Explain Since the researchers believe these fossils are 50 to 70 million years old, they need to explain how fragile biological molecules can survive so long. A team in Sweden showed that collagen has survived in the fossilized bone of a mosasaur. ![]() The findings support the view that these dinosaurs lived only 4,300 years ago and were buried during the global Flood.Ī team in England confirmed the existence of soft skin tissue, known as keratin, in fossilized lizard skin. The survival of DNA within dinosaur bones would be powerful evidence against a millions-of-years age for those fossils.
