Check out these webpages, apparently they found blood cells from a dinosaur. How can it be if the dinosaurs lived millions of years ago? It will be impossible for those blood cells to have survived for millions of years, or did dinosaurs not live millions of years ago?
What is your thought on this?

thats amazing! ive been researching on your find and i have NO IDEA how it was preserved but still AMAZING! maybe the bone was surrounded by different kinds of minerals and rocks? and kinda "mummified" it...or it was frozen. i dont know but im going to guess on that since i dont know how that can happen after millions of years! thnks on the info!

No, actually it's not impossible. It depends on the method used to preserve the fossil. If the fossil were nothing more than a piece of rock, sure. But not all fossils are only rock (where the bones minerals have been replaced slowly over time by other minerals). The movie Jurassic Park had one thing right. Things can be preserved extremely well in tree resin. Though there are other methods as well.

I would like to see a link to the article you refer to, as I watch the science news closely and have seen nothing of it. However, there are many creatures in the oceans that mankind has yet to identify or even encounter. It is theoretically possible that some species living in the deeper parts of the oceans have evolved very little from prehistoric times, and because they live so deep, we have never seen or been able to positively identify the species. Also, many modern reptiles and amphibians could concievably have traces of prehistoric genes left in their blood, as they have evolved during that time from what used to be dinosaurs or other small creatures living millions of years ago that managed to survive the numerous mass extinctions on Earth.

They've also found muscle tissue on the bone of a T-rex. My opinion is it's probably a fluke a one in a million shot that it will happen but it WILL happen. (and btw they found dino blood YEARS ago in the bodies of mosquitoes preserved in amber, so jurassic park but so true as well)

i think by the advances of technology they can clone dinosaurs by knowing the DNA even if it was a dead cell, and they can create a new ones, and it will be a big step for technology if they made it

Even your own sources dispel this one. What was found were not blood cells, but blood cell remains, which is an entirely different matter.
In other words, the claim is absolutely untrue.
Check your sources.

By "blood" they don't mean the liquid form, but the fossilized form!
Sheesh!?
Merry Christmas!!!!

your not serious are you?

well if its fossil...its possible. If not then it's just my mom killing Turkeys at the museum to get ready got Christmas.

Um...even if it was somehow not quite that long ago, it's still long enough that all remnants would still be gone if they couldn't last either way...
