Animal fossils usually provide very little opportunity to study the actual animal tissues, because in fossils the animals' living tissues have been largely replaced by minerals. Thus, scientists were very excited recently when it appeared that a 70-million-year-old fossil of Tyrannosaurus rex (T. rex), a dinosaur, might still contain remains of the actual tissues of the animal. The discovery was made when researchers deliberately broke open the T. rex's leg bone, thereby exposing its insides to reveal materials that seem to be remains of blood vessels, red blood cells, and collagen matrix.

First, the breaking of the fossilized leg bone revealed many small branching channels inside, which probably corresponded to hollows in the bones where blood vessels were once located. The exciting finding was the presence of a soft, flexible organic substance inside the channels. This soft substance may very well represent the remains of the actual blood vessels of T. rex.

Second, microscopic examination of the various parts of the inner bone revealed the presence of spheres that could be the remains of red blood cells. Tests showed that the spheres contained iron - a material vital to the role of red blood cells in transporting oxygen to tissues. Moreover, the spheres had dark red centers (substances with iron tend to be reddish in color) and were also about the size of red blood cells.

Third, scientists performed a test on the dinosaur leg bone that showed that it contained collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that is a main component of living bone tissue, in which it forms a so-called collagen matrix. Collagen (or its chemical derivatives) is exactly the kind of biochemical material that one would expect to find in association with bone tissue.

We konw that animal fossils usually provide very little opportunity to study the actual animals tissue. in the passage had said, exposing its insides to reveal materials that seem to be remains of blood vessels, red blood cell, and collagen matrix. in the lecture proffesor explained that the breaking of the fossilize leg bone and discovery of soft tissue just reveal some material that bactery had remained because by passing this long time bacteries will make hollow in the bones where blood vessels were once located. also proffesor expressed that the blood vessels can not remain after this long time so this red materials is discovered by microscopic examination of the various parts of animals body, probabely caused by another reason. also there is same explanation about collagen, this materials created y human handling because those can not be remained after passing that long time.
