Summary
1. Introduction
[7] reported on the exceptionally preserved stays of a hadrosaur from the Hell Creek Formation (USA), which included mineralized pores and skin, tendon and related skeletal materials, however even from such an exceptionally preserved specimen, they have been solely in a position to exhibit the presence of protein breakdown merchandise utilizing complete amino acid analyses, pyrolysis gasoline chromatography mass spectrometry (Py-GCMS), Fourier rework infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometric peptide mass fingerprinting and proteomic analyses [7]. [1] reported on the startling discovery of soft-tissue preservation within the femur of a Tyrannosaurus rex, apparently preserved for over 68 Myr, a size of time vastly higher than thought attainable given the experimentally measured charges of decay for the element structural proteins, significantly collagen [2]. The seek for historic biomolecules from deep-time fossils has led to some distinctive claims relating to the preservation of organics inside fossilized materials.

5. Conclusion
Our outcomes recommend that cross-contamination shouldn’t be so readily dismissed because the doubtless supply of collagen matched in earlier research [5,14], thereby yielding the false-positive outcomes for supposed dinosaur-derived collagen. The latest 2017 examine [22] doesn’t discover their distinctive dinosaur peptide (which we present as producing a great match for the homologous ostrich peptide) and fully matches alligator. With direct sequencing of biomolecules (DNA or protein), willpower of whether or not sequences differ from these of all extant taxa taken into any of the laboratory environments ought to be a necessity with specimens of such antiquity.
