Taphonomic variation in vascular remains from Mesozoic non-avian dinosaurs by M. H. Schweitzer, W. Zheng, E. Dickinson, J. Scannella, A. Hartstone-Rose, P. Sjövall, J. Lindgren

“…Abstract The identity and source of flexible, semi-transparent, vascular-like components recovered from non-avian dinosaur bone are debated, because: (1) such preservation is not predicted by degradation models; (2) taphonomic mechanisms for this type of preservation are not well defined; and (3) although support for molecular endogeneity has been demonstrated in select specimens, comparable data are lacking on a broader scale. Here, we use a suite of micromorphological and molecular techniques to examine vessel-like material recovered from the skeletal remains of six non-avian dinosaurs, representing different taxa, depositional environments and geological ages, and we compare the data obtained from our analyses against vessels liberated from extant ostrich bone. …”
