soft tissue

[prof_pangaea]

Here is a poem I wrote about the recent discovery of soft tissue in a Tyrannosaurus rex fossil:

soft science/
hunk sandstone forced break solid fossilized bone rock lab chemically hard cold lab bone dead minerals bone fossilization fossils fossil fossils sandstone excavated fossil cracked cracking bones cut bone cut
hard science/
yielded soft tissue blood vessels cells blood vessels bone cells blood cells transparent flexible vessels flexible squeezed cells flexibility transparency soft tissue soft tissues warm living blood vessels blood vessels yielded flexible fibers cells soft tissue wrapping soft tissue soft tissue

That's a great poem, Siobhan It's much harder than one would think to write a free-form thought type of poem like this (I don't know an official term for it, if there even is one). I am impressed, I really am. I can only imagine how cool it would be to hear you read it!

So did you get the article about this that I emailed to you on Friday? (Oh wait, no, I just checked - I emailed you a different article than the one you posted.) I think that discoveries like this are really fascinating.
