Haven't they been able to get some dna from dinosaur bones recently? That would really help. When genotyping first appeared many genus/species had to be recategorized.
- jghn 11y agoDNA would be completely destroyed after less than 7 million years, sadly Jurassic Park will never happen
- mchahn 11y agoI went back and found the article from a few weeks ago. It was less convincing than I remembered. They found a pregnant dinosaur and they think there is new hope for finding DNA. They haven't actually found any. http://news.discovery.com/animals/dinosaurs/pregnant-t-rex-found-may-contain-dna-160316.htm http://news.discovery.com/animals/dinosaurs/pregnant-t-rex-f...
- kjs3 11y agoThey've got a few scattered bits of DNA, but it's exceedingly rare (a handful of bones) and wouldn't be generally useful to categorize many dinos.
