Dinosaurs Linked to Birds
Saturday April 26, 2008
Molecular analysis of a dinosaur protein has linked dinosaurs to modern birds.
These findings, published in the journal Science, show that dinosaurs share a common ancestor with chickens and ostriches.
Researchers were able to retrieve the dinosaur protein from the fossilized leg of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
In addition, researchers also confirmed a link between mastodons and modern elephants through collagen protein analysis.
