Michelle York+Follow24-Million-Year-Old Rhino Tooth?!Scientists just found a 24-million-year-old rhino tooth in the Arctic, and it’s packed with ancient proteins—way older than any DNA we’ve ever sequenced. Thanks to the super-tough enamel, these proteins survived like tiny time capsules. This is huge for figuring out rhino family history (yes, even the OG ‘unicorn’ rhino). Plus, they found more ancient proteins in fossils from Kenya’s desert, proving these molecules can survive heat, not just ice. Welcome to the wild world of paleoproteomics! #Science #ScienceNews #RhinoDiscovery211Share
