dinosaurs and petroglyphs

Now, if you DON't believe in continent-wide catastrophes within the age of man on the Earth, then about the only other thing which could theoretically cause the extinction of entire animal populations off of a continent the size of North America is man.

In your way of thinking, gunga, what are we supposed to be seeing during that search?

If you want to ask somebody what or how to think you should be talking to "farmerman' and his little cohort of correct-science apologists. I'm willing to tell people how to find information for themselves and they can make whatever they want of it when they find it.

Analyses of Soft Tissue from Tyrannosaurus rex Suggest the Presence of Protein

We performed multiple analyses of Tyrannosaurus rex (specimen MOR 1125) fibrous cortical and medullary tissues remaining after demineralization. The results indicate that collagen I, the main organic component of bone, has been preserved in low concentrations in these tissues. The findings were independently confirmed by mass spectrometry. We propose a possible chemical pathway that may contribute to this preservation. The presence of endogenous protein in dinosaur bone may validate hypotheses about evolutionary relationships, rates, and patterns of molecular change and degradation, as well as the chemical stability of molecules over time.

Have you considered entering that kid in your avatar in the contest?

Somebody trying to learn thing would do better to read the original post and check out the sources and simply ignore pages 2, 3, 4, 5......

So what you're basically saying is "believe what I tell ya and don't ask any questions".

A deeply flawed methodical demolition of the overkill hypothesis.
