Well-preserved dinosaur soft tissue
fossils have been found. Devastating land slide buried dinosaurs alive and
fossilization started soon after their death.

Numerous dinosaur soft tissues have been found in Mikawa district,
Japan. Finding soft tissue fossils have been believed to
be extremely rare, since they are easily decomposed. But I found more than 3000
dinosaur egg and 2000 dung fossils in the same area where soft tissue fossils
were found. As long as so many dinosaur egg and dung fossils were found in
Mikawa district which is my home town, it is obvious that numerous dinosaurs
once lived in this area. Last year, I started finding these peculiar and crucial
pebbles, which contain well-preserved fry fossil as shown in the photos. They
were fossilized in group. Apparently, they had no chance to flee from the
devastating landslide, which took place out of the blue. Now I have the
dinosaur fossils such as brains, lungs, skins, guts, testicles, ovaries and the others. Interestingly, these fossils I got are all well-preserved. I infer that
several hundreds of dinosaurs also got involved in the disastrous landslide and
fossilized quickly before decomposition proceeded. If we fail to recover dinosaur
DNA utilizing these fossils, there will be no chance to clone it forever. Lastly,
when I see so many egg fossils and herbivore dung fossils shown in the photos
below, I imagine affluent dinosaur world. But there were so many egg fossils
which hutched every year, herbivorous dinosaurs must have consumed enormous
amount of trees they seem to have lived on. I infer that they ate up trees on
the mountain slope creating bare land which probably caused the devastating massive
landslide occurred sometime in the dinosaur era.
