Soft tissue fossils and DNA sequence


The End of the Cretaceous World and its Remains
                  Soft Tissue Fossils by M. Yamamoto


It has been reported that soft tissue fossils are extremely rare find because they are easily decomposed or putrefied. But it appears I found numerous dinosaur soft tissue fossils such as testicles, presumably ovaries , developing embryos and the other fossils in Mikawa district, Aichi-prefecture, Japan. And I also found hundreds of dung and egg fossils. As long as so many dung and egg fossils are found in a small area of my vicinity, it is obvious that the dinosaurs once lived in this area of my vicinity. And there is a possibility that several hundreds of dinosaurs were killed at a time, buried quickly and fossilized before putrefaction process proceeded. All the fossils I found are well preserved and will give us good materials to sequence dino-DNA. Photos are shown below.



At first, an unidentified soft tissue fossil is shown.

Testicle fossils
