Back in 2005, researchers found soft tissues in a T-rex fossil (hollow blood vessels retaining their original flexibility, elasticity, and resilience): http://www.rpgroup.caltech.edu/~natsirt/stuff/Schweitzer%20Science%202005.pdf http://www.rpgroup.caltech.edu/~natsirt/stuff/Schweitzer%20S... IIRC they were cutting the large fossil to transport it, and it is while cutting it that they unexpectedly stumbled upon these soft tissues inside. This discovery was so mind-boggling at the time.
What research has been conducted on this specific 2005 T-rex specimen? The scientific community seemed ecstatic after finding it, but I do not remember any significant discovery made from the tissue.
