The Burgess shale, which preserved soft tissue in exquisite detail was known from 1909. So do the fossils of complex precambrian animals from the Ediacaran hills. (those were discovered in 1946)

Funny thing though, nowhere in the literature are scientists "mystified" by these detailed fossils. Would you like to know why?
 
The fine details preserved in fossils mystify evolutionists but not paleontologists who believe in the Genesis flood.

The preservation of these tiny fossils amazes everybody in the field, even the scientists who see them all the time. They understand the specimens must have been preserved by rapid burial because the animals and plants didn’t have time to go through the normal body decay process. For example, a study on cockroaches found they can’t stay intact after 48 hours in a water environment. Water starts destroying their structures right away.

awesome - great info
 
The Burgess shale,for example, was produced by a huge underwater landslide, coming down on very still coastal waters. Hence the finely preserved fossils.
 
dinosaurs are in scripture as being alive at the same time as our ancient ancestors
Can you show us that? BTW, there was no "soft tissue" found in that T. Rex. It was a bit of heme (fraction of a hemoglobin molecule) with some collagen (protein molecule). No unfossilized tissues, not even intact cells. Interesting thing was, when the heme was tested, it was found to be more like the heme of birds than like the heme of other reptiles.

ABSTRACT Six independent lines of evidence point to the existence of heme-containing compounds and or hemoglobin breakdown products in extracts of trabecular tissues of the large theropod dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex. These include signatures from nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance that indicate the presence of a paramagnetic compound consistent with heme. In addition, UV visible spectroscopy and high performance liquid chromatography data are consistent with the Soret absorbance characteristic of this molecule. Resonance Raman profiles are also consistent with a modified heme structure. Finally, when dinosaurian tissues were extracted for protein fragments and were used to immunize rats, the resulting antisera reacted positively with purified avian and mammalian hemoglobins. The most parsimonious explanation of this evidence is the presence of blood-derived hemoglobin compounds preserved in the dinosaurian tissues

Which evolutionary theory predicts. Birds evolved from dinosaurs, and therefore would be biochemically more like dinosaurs than like any living reptile would be.
