So, let’s grab a frog and go to work. I’d like to set a raptor family loose in Congress.
Can they actually “reconstruct/ breed” animals from DNA that old?
Only in Hollywood..........................
Heh.
A raptor family loosed in Congress would be a cruel death..............for the a raptor family............................
That’s because we’ve been lied about how old they really are.
There’s no way in hell those bones are “millions of years old”.
Refer to the Nodosaur specimen they found almost completely intact with cartilage and skin recently found in Canada I believe.
How possible is it for DNA to survive millions of years?
Unfortunately real velociraptors were about the size of chickens. A couple of allosaurs would be nice though.
Raptors would not stand a chance against the fossilized dinosaurs currently serving in congress.

Wiki:
“Velociraptor was a mid-sized dromaeosaurid, with adults measuring up to 2.07 m (6 ft 9 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long, 0.5 m (1 ft 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) high at the hip, and weighing up to 15 kg (33 lb), though there is a higher estimate of 19.7 kg (43 + 1 ⁄ 2 lb). The skull, which grew up to 25 cm (10 in) long, was uniquely up-curved, concave on the upper surface and convex on the lower.”
Big Chickens.
Me too! I GUESS that about covers it...
Ok then, find some velociraptor DNA and make us an army of Raptors and let them loose in all the blue cities. Sounds like a plan to me.
And was just discovered in COVID vaxxines, along with a lot of other junk.
Bring back Dire Wolves!
Bring back Dire Straits!................................
“If there is any DNA or DNA-like molecule in there, it will be – as a scientific guess – very, very chemically modified and altered,”
What is the definition of fossilization?
Fossilization takes place either (i) by the complexation of mineral ions to functional groups in the organic material, gradually replacing the organic structure and, at the same time, trapping the degrading organic molecules in the polymerizing mineral matrix, or (ii) when amorphous minerals formed in the aqueous phase bind to the cell envelope (Konhauser et al., 2003;

The Maryland “science guy” would take us out on school field trips a couple times a year.
We were marching through one of the limestone block tunnels built for the C&O Canal in the 1830s, when he stopped, shined his flashlight up at the ceiling of the tunnel and dramatically intoned “Look at those stalactites. They took millions of years to form”.
And from the back of the group, my 10 year old self said “Seriously??”
And strait jackets!!
Even “scientists” don’t comprehend what can happen in 1 million years.
The claims are absurd!
