Jokes aside, can DNA be retrieved from there? The article is quite limited.
- echelon_musk 2y agoI don't think DNA is retrievable from rock. If it has been fossilised then all organic matter has been replaced by rock.
- amelius 2y agoDoes every type of basepair transform into rock the same way?
- zulban 2y agoI believe DNA doesn't last more than a couple million years. And that's under ideal conditions and it's already a stretch.
- ETH_start 2y agoThe theoretical limit of DNA survival, I believe, is about 1 to 2 million years. So no.
