The question isn’t “ can we clone a dinosaur “ it’s “should we “

Edmontosaurus

They’re not 66 million years old.

Maybe 66 hundred.

The science is settled though, right?

The question isn’t “ can we clone a dinosaur “ it’s “should we “

Old ex-hippie, his white hair in a bun, spilling a little arugula-okra salad on his tie dyed shirt and threadbare jeans (In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida heard on a CD player):

“See, Brenda, we knew organic was the way to go.”

When you scan articles too quickly, your brain plays tricks on you. For example, "The fossil is an exceptionally well-preserved Edmontosaurus sacrum..."

We all know what's next...

In before the McConnell and Pelosi jokes…

Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

Dr. Ian Malcolm

"...researchers detected remnants of collagen..."

Who knew dinosaurs had lips?

I would expect Paleontology to be stirred by this.

For Doug

We’ve seen in the case of the woolly mammoth carcasses found in Siberia frozen more or less continuously since their deaths only 50,000 years ago that it takes well preserved tissue samples to be able to extract an entire DNA sequence.

And this isn’t well-preserved tissue, it’s “decayed collagen.” Which means even “could provide new insights” might be overly ambitious. They might learn some bits and bobs but not enough to even dream of resurrecting a dinosaur.

Thanks, this is a confirming study of something that is A) old B) gets saddled on by moonbats, and C) no, paleontology hasn't been shaken by this.

Jurassic Park, here we come!

Incredible find.

still contain preserved organic materials

That means they can be barbecued!

This is not the first time organic soft tissue has been found in dinosaur fossils.
