Evolutionists are claiming that a dinosaur found in China has DNA.  They say that it is 125 million-year-old animal.

”This would be a surprise for them, as a 2012 study suggests that DNA in bone will completely break down in about 7 million years, but the timing may depend heavily on environmental factors. 

It is even more surprising., as it would destroy the mantra of millions of years.

 DNA is coiled inside chromosomes within a cell's nucleus. Researchers have reported possible cell nucleus structures in fossils of plants and algae dating back millions of years. Scientists have even suggested that a set of microfossils from 540 million years ago might hold preserved nuclei.

 Now, researchers are claiming that well-preserved specimen of Caudipteryx that was found in the Jehol Biota. Alida Bailleul and colleagues published their findings in the journal Communications Biology-

 

”In 2020, Bailleul and her colleagues reported the possible preservation of DNA in the skull of an infant Hypacrosaurus, a kind of duck-billed dinosaur that lived 75 million years ago, found in Montana. ”
