In 2004, a team led by Dr. Mary Schweitzer discovered soft tissue—red blood cells, blood vessels, and collagen—in the femur of a T. rex. How could soft tissue last that long?

Turns out, chemists have known that iron can stabilize organic molecules for millions of years. And blood and blood vessels have lots of ... oxygen. Schweitzer wasn't claiming to have found tissue,but it did seem she found some cells and a bit of collagen still formed in tubes that were obviously blood vessels at one time.

But the best thing is, her research once again confirmed an evolutionary prediction made well over a hundred years ago by Thomas Huxley, using anatomical data.

In those remains of RBCs, scientists found a little bit of heme (fragment of a hemoglobin molecule) When tested, it turned out to be more like that of birds than like other reptiles, once again confirming that birds evolved from other dinosaurs.

Molecular analysis confirms T. Rex’s evolutionary link to birds

Cool, huh?
