Curious what the half life would be for dinosaur blood within Amber (per the book)?
- mkl 7y agoIt seems to depend mostly on temperature and moisture: dry, cold, and unchanging are best. We have good DNA from Deniovans because it was recovered from bones and teeth that sat buried in a cave in Siberia for 50k years. Being in amber might protect from moisture, but I think the temperature and temperature swings would still likely destroy it within thousands of years.
