In this episode of the Hemoglobin Challenge, we here the claim made by Bryan Osborn of Answers in Genesis regarding the discovery of "intact red blood cells" in dinosaur fossils. I remind the viewer of why this claim is misleading and explain the nature of the biomolecules found in ancient fossils. I discuss the difference between preserved cells in recent specimens like mammoths and the degraded/chemically-modified molecular remains found in dinosaur bones. The goal of the Hemoglobin Challenge is to encourage more accurate representation of scientific evidence in discussions about the age of fossils and the Earth.
