Thanks! So not only preservation of soft tissue was confirmed, although the exact mechanism is not fully understood. But also there are "multiple lines of evidence for material consistent with DNA in dinosaur" found in fossils https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S87563...


> multiple lines of evidence for material consistent with DNA in dinosaur

After reading a paper I don’t think I’ve ever had a thought like this before: did they run that past a legal team before publication? That sounds like a lawyer wrote it.


The language surprised me too! I realize the researchers wanted to be extra cautious (enough to pass peer-review) and that's the reason I did a literal quote instead of paraphrasing.
