Yeah, Sereno also made a good point in another article I read (possibly the NY
Times one). He brought attention to the fact that the sediments in NW South
Dakota aren't necessarily known for their detailed soft tissue preservation.
And, yeah, Dr. Brochu in the Fox News report questioned why only the heart
would be preserved. Russell or one of the other authors mentioned something
about bacteria, but why would this bacteria only target the heart?
