Yeah, I read the article on Drudge before it hit OT. It sounds like a pretty interesting deal, and it's really hard to imagine how a cell could have made it 70 million years... it's just crazy.

Apparently it's not just that bone... Since they discovered that they've started slicing other bones and found the same thing. It's just that people used to think they were to valuable to cut up and never looked ;-)
