Dinosaurs. The Hunt for Life
Description
The hunt for life within the long-dead bones of dinosaurs may sound like the stuff of Hollywood fantasy-but one woman has found traces of life within the fossilized bones of a T. rex. Dr. Mary Schweitzer has seen the remains of red blood cells and touched the soft tissue of an animal that died 68 million years ago. She believes she may have found signs of DNA. Her work is revolutionizing our understanding of these iconic beasts.
