We dove deep into the science of molecular paleontology. Some bonus topics included in this unabridged version:
- How nestlings got buried and preserved
- Where we could find similar cartilage in adult dinosaurs
- The difference between soft tissue preservation and samples collected by de-mineralizing
- How the appearance of a fossil’s quality can be very missleading
- Why use a rabbit and a goat for immunofluorescence tests
- Details on why contamination isn’t a problem in this study
