They might have T.Rex DNA.

All together now: "What could go wrong? "

Pretty misleading title and opening paragraph to that story.

'Crocodiles are the closest-living relatives of dinosaurs.'

Thought birds were.

It would make a great theme park….

…I was hoping the first word on opening the thread, after reading the title, was going to be…

ALIVE!

Reading that, there is no chance of dinosaur dna I'm told, every cell of any dinosaur is long gone and has been traded for rock. Hate to break that.

So you're saying the DNA is "set in stone"? grin

They've found soft tissue in T Rex bones before. Not usable for DNA but soft tissue.

I think we'll have to find blood in the stomachs of insects preserved in amber to get dinosaur DNA. And then what could possibly go wrong?

Was Smokey anywhere nearby around the time of conception?

You know – hate to rain on anyone's parade but…

One thing that just about everyone seems to forget is that the Earth is not the same planet it was 65+ million years ago.

Not just the average temperature or moisture or the like, the air is thinner and has far less oxygen than it did.

There's a reason why Pterodactyls could fly, insects could grow so much large and you could have creatures like the Sauropods and other huge creatures. Thicker air, and richer with oxygen.

Not so much now – they would die very quickly today.

Actually the oxygen content of the air in the late cretaceous was pretty damned low.
