FOSSILS FRIDAY
Discovery of Fossilized Protein in a Dinosaur bone. The researchers at the University of Toronto discovered fossilized protein within a rib of a Lufengosaurus- a long-necked Herbivore that roamed the now south-western Chinese territory during early Jurrasic period. The findings may give useful insight into the evolution of Dinosaurs into species of birds we see today.
