This is exciting stuff! It supports Mary Schweitzer's theory that iron was what preserved "soft tissue" in a 68 million year old T. rex bone!

Regarding the other discovery in that T. rex bone a whole bunch of creationists and evolutionists were battling against each other in the comment sections, it was a fun reading :D I wonder if this will spark similar debates, once it gets out into mass media. I'd like to see that happen...
Inevitably, underlying instabilities begin to appear.

Well, this isn't a creationism vs evolution forum, so it's not going to be happening here.

Let's face it, pretty much every discovery at least leads to creationist comments. And some, such as this to claims. Also found out yesterday, while searching for a specific quote from Jurassic Park,  that they consider the fact that birds existed alongside non-avian Dinosaurs as proof that the former did not evolve from non-avian Dinosaurs. But yes, this is not the forum to discuss this.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no
