Scientists in southeast China's Taiwan have been reported to find the collagen protein remnants in dinosaur wreckage.
近日，来自中国东南部的台湾的科学家发布报告称，他们在恐龙残骸中发现了残余的胶原蛋白。
The remnants are the basis of the connective tissue that is adjacent to the muscle, as well as the composition of the all animals' meat.
这种胶原蛋白是紧邻肌肉的结缔组织的主要成分，也是所有动物肉的一种组成成分。
The remnants were found in the rib vascular channels of a 195-million-year-old dinosaur in southwest China's Yunnan province, according to the study on the Nature Communications journal on January 31, 2017.
据《自然通讯》杂志2017年1月31日发表的研究称，科学家们是在恐龙的肋骨血管通道内发现的这种残余物，而这具恐龙残骸发现于中国西南部的云南省，距今1.95亿年。
The researchers analysed the fossils and further found that there are organics existing in the vascular channels through spectroscopy method.
当时研究人员对恐龙化石进行了分析，并进一步通过波谱法发现了残留在血管通道内的有机物。
Based on the data obtained, these organics are concluded to be the collagen protein remnants.
根据得到的数据显示，这些有机物最终被判定为胶原蛋白残余。
The researchers believed that the remnants were preserved because of the clogging by iron mineral in the bone cavity, since organics could remain for millions of years if isolated from external environment.
研究人员认为，这些残余物之所以能够被保存下来，是因为骨腔被铁矿物堵塞住了，因为如果有机物和外部环境隔绝开来的话，是可以保存数百万年的。
