In 1990, a team from the Montana State University Museum found an almost complete T-rex
skeleton. Later, a team lead by Dr. Mary Schweitzer found red blood cells in the unfossilized
long bone of the leg.
Recounting her story in the June 1997 edition of Earth magazine (which
has since gone out of business), Dr. Schweitzer said:
When the team brought the dinosaur into the lab, we noticed that some
parts deep inside the long bone of the leg had not completely fossilized.
Earlier in the article she reports:
The lab filled with murmurs of amazement, for I had focused on something
inside the vessels that none of us had ever noticed before: tiny
round objects, translucent red with a dark center.
Then a colleague took one look at them and shouted, "You’ve got red
blood cells. You’ve got red blood cells!"

While evolutionists believe that dinosaurs
became extinct almost 65 million years ago,
this discovery of red blood cells in a
dinosaur bone fits perfectly with the Biblical
timeline that indicates that God created all
animals only 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. It
seems hard to imagine that a bone buried
for 65 million years would never have been
exposed to the minerals and conditions
needed for fossilization to take place.
Secondly, since it was not fossilized, how
could it stay in the ground for that long
without decaying? Even more amazing are
the red blood cells. It seems that there is no
possible way for something as extremely
delicate as red blood cells to survive for 65
million years! This evidence really seems to
support the idea that dinosaurs lived thousands
of years ago, instead of millions and
millions of years ago!
When evolutionists found out that creationists
were claiming that this discovery indicates
that dinosaurs did not live millions of years
ago, they claimed that only heme and not
globin (which is needed to form red blood
cells) was found in the bones. They said
that this distinction was important, because
they felt that heme could last millions of
years in an unfossilized bone, even if globin
could not.
