Study led by University of Liverpool reveals strong evidence that Mesozoic fossils still preserve their original organic materials.

Researchers used advanced mass spectrometry and other techniques to identify preserved collagen remnants in the hip bone of an Edmontosaurus , a duck-billed dinosaur.

Study shows beyond doubt that organic biomolecules, such as proteins like collagen, appear to be present in some fossils.
