(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists have extracted organically preserved muscle tissue from an 18 million years old salamander fossil. The discovery by researchers from University College Dublin, the UK and Spain, reported in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B shows that soft tissue can be preserved under a broader set of fossil conditions than previously known.

So, next time you see a 15-foot tall salamander in Elements, queueing for a cheeseburger, you know who to blame. :eek:

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

We came across the muscle tissue during our analysis of several hundred fossil samples taken from an ancient lake bed in Southern Spain

LIES, It was the UCD lake, not a lake in Southern Spain.
