Scientists have made a remarkable discovery while studying a Tyrannosaurus rex fossil—preserved blood vessels hidden within 66-million-year-old bones that show evidence of the dinosaur's healing process. Using advanced synchrotron X-ray technology, researchers were able to examine these delicate iron-rich structures without damaging the fossil, opening new doors to understanding dinosaur biology and evolution.
