Became known why dinosaur remains so well preserved

Scientists have long tried to solve the riddle.

Experts have long wondered how the fossil dinosaurs can be stored, but it has long been decomposed, according to the Chronicle.info with reference to Know.ia.

Only recently, they have been able to survive.

To better understand what is the reason for decomposition of protein in soft tissue was taken from 35 samples of dinosaur bones. Was taken as well as the shells of the eggs. It is known that in such an environment, among which the limestone or Sandstone, soft fabric is stored more successfully.

And all because of the fact that the fragile protein in the process of perekisnogo okisleniya and glycation is transformed into lipids, which are very difficult to collapse.

Experts compare lipids with a crust of burnt toast. These chemical elements provide protection from destructive influences.
