I recall an episode of a daily TV series in Japan where they found seeds from a several thousand year old archaeological dig, which yielded a still viable magnolia tree when planted today. And there was that story just recently about bacteria found in the deep mantle, dormant for a couple million (?) years, that grew when cultured. Amazing how patiently life can wait for the moment to be revived again, with no promise or knowledge of when the day may come.
