What happened to the discovery of soft tissues and blood vessels in T-rex bones from 15+ years ago? It's such an incredible discovery and I've heard almost nothing from this.

Way to make some old people feel bad. "Here I am with a titanium hip, and some doggone dinosaurs, would you believe it, still got collagen in theirs!"
