The deformed mineralized collagen fibrils type I can be seen in the
micrograph shown at:
http://www.geo.ucalgary.ca/~macrae/t_origins/carbbones/th96-001_ts3.jpeg
That page is an enlarged picture of the following webpage:
http://www.geo.ucalgary.ca/~macrae/t_origins/carbbones/th96001.html

At the bottom of the second webpage above are two pictures placed side
by side for comparison purpose. One shows Mr. Conrad's fossil and the
other shows a dinosaur fossil.In the picture showing Mr. Conrad's
fossil (that is, the first webpage above, one can see collagen fibrils
(mostly deformed) at the right hand side of the picture. That area
shows the most prominent fibrils, while other areas also show
scattered,deformed,
mineralized collagen fibrils.

You assume that anybody really gives a damn, Ed.

I don't... I didn't ten years ago and it hasn't changed yet.

Find a new sock for your puppet. (Hey - write a paper for
that new PLoS-ONE journal.... no restriction on the finding
and it will be published "scientifically". But I still won't read it.)

What makes you think there are fibrils, of any type? All I see are
etched crystalline grains.

You really should try and gain even a minimal understanding of
microsopy before posting this drivel. The images show nothing that is
remotely interpretable as "collagen", not even "scattered, deformed,
mineralized" collagen (whatever that is!). Nice try though, Ed.

Hey Ed, have you rescheduled your Larry King interview yet? Do you have

Wouldn't it be more fitting if you actually studied whatver specimen this is
all about, instead of telling us about your own subjective and decidedly
non-scientific interpretation of photographs?

They don't look anything like the dinosaur fossil, and Andrew McRae did
not believe them to be bone, and being the sock puppet of a loony is
slightly more pathetic than being your own individual loon.

Me too. Ling Liangti has a history here. Probably not Ed. Usually
asks questions, though not this time. Questions like, "Is this (lump
of flint) a fossilized human eyeball?"

Then again, I don't recall Ling Liangto ever responding to our
answers, so maybe they are meant to be rhetorical questions.

OK. They were collagen fibers, not collagen fibrils.
Let a histologist and Mr. Andrew MacRae say something.
Are they all speechless now?

Ed, why are you posting in talk.origins? If I had been banned like
you have been, I would have the moral and ethical and spiritual
strength to accept that ban and cease posting to talk.origins, or
I would ask the moderator for forgiveness and promise to not
name-shift again.

Why, do you suppose, am I (a Wiccan) morally and ethically and
spiritually superior to you?

There is a very simple and direct way to identify collagen fibers. The
fibrils show a periodic axial banding on the order of 70nm. Show us
that and we might start to take you seriously.

For the sake of objective scientific comparison,
here are a few links on collagen, etc.
http://www.visualsunlimited.com/results.jsp?key=collagen&start=18&number=18&type=and
The link shows 47 photos of collagen. The last
third photo (SEM photo at about 1800X) looks closely
like my SEM photo (at 700X) when you consider
that Ed's fossil collagen has been severely
fragmented into very short pieces.

Couldn't you claim they were mammalian,
instead of human, collagen fibrils if I
show you the periodic cross-bands of 67 nm in
Ed's fosssil?

Let me clue you in, Ed. Nobody here believes your samples are even
from any living thing. We all think you are completely loony and that
you have a knack for misidentifying random lumps that you find walking
around the yard. Any evidence which might indicate that your bizarre
fantasies were somehow connected to reality, even by the slenderest
thread, would be refreshing.

Anyway, I should just invoke Formosa's law and be done with you.

Every time I walk west to check the fences I come across rocks
just like Ed's rocks (oops! I mean "Lin's" rocks): streaks and
specks of red that look a little like blood. They are in no way
different than Lin's rocks (er, I mean "Ed's" rocks): they are
utterly identical except for shape. Maybe I should send a few
hundred tons to him, postage due, so that he can perform more
amazing medical research upon them.
