[extropy-chat] Thoughts on preserved tissue

[Mike Lorrey]

A few years ago, when they were digging up a buried mastodon, they
showed early 20th century film clips of russians eating frozen mastodon
on the tv special about the event.

If tissue remains frozen long enough to become completely encapsulated,
then its surroundings dessicated, how long could the tissue be
preserved?
