Surprisingly, careful examination of the ink sac contents revealed what appeared to be ink consisting of granules similar in size andshape to those that are in the ink of modern cephalopods, which additional analyses demonstrated had chemical properties that included melanin, the pigment found in the ink of modern cephalopods.
As Dr. Rana himself commented finding “a chemically intact form [of preserved melanin] for at least 160 million years is nothing short of remarkable.”....... creationists have understandably embraced these discoveries of soft tissues and biomolecules in these ancient fossils. That’s because our timescale for earth history with the Flood cataclysm only about 4,350 years ago predicts such soft tissues and biomolecules would be found in fossils. They would have survived those few thousand years based on the known observations and experiments of their rapid decay today."
