Broken bones yield T. rex tissue When researchers reluctantly sliced a Tyrannosaurus rex femur in half to get it out of the field, they found something completely unexpected -- the original structure of blood vessels and other soft tissues. Might DNA testing reveal detailed information on the genetic code of T. rex, and more? |
