### When I started googling about Mary Schweitzer, I found that her previous
research about finding collagen in dino fossils elicited significant interest
from the young-Earth creationists.

I bet the recent findings made them wet their pants - "Squishy dino pieces

older than a few weeks, or else all would've rotted away! Hallelujah!"
