主　　题：Early Birds Breathed Easy 

摘      要：When thinking of paleontology and the study of fossilized remains,we typically envision a white,petrified skeleton lying in some desert badland,exposed by wind and ***,recent discoveries have put an ever-increasing focus on the preservation of non-skeletal fossil remains–that is to say,the preservation of soft tissues that have remarkably survived the test of time,sometimes hundreds of millions of years.
