T. rex flesh may just be bacterial sludge

["S.Green" <2esses@roadrunner.com>]

from a Scientific American report of July 30th:

*Mary Schweitzer* stands by her findings that her team had found the 
soft tissue of a Tyrannosaurus Rex in a 70-million-year-old fossil 
recovered from a fossilized bone unearthed in Montana in 2005.

But, researchers led by Thomas Kaye, from the University of Washington 
in Seattle, report that slimy bacterial colonies called biofilms mimic 
those fleshy residues.*
