@tilscience: Today I learned that despite all the Jurassic movies, we’ve never actually ever recovered dinosaur DNA. But this physicist (yes a physicist) just came the closest. Jerit Leo Mitchell is a physicist revolutionizing fossil analysis with particle accelerator light. And he found preserved mineralized blood vessels in the most famous T-Rex ever discovered. Without breaking a single bone. No Dino DNA yet, but a girl can dream!

This idea just came to me, what if scientists extract dinosaur DNA from mosquitoes preserved in amber?

unfortunately dna just doesn’t have the half-life to survive that long but I bet we’ll figure something out someday

Did we not learn our lesson from Jurassic Park? We don’t need dinosaur DNA, we will all go extinct.

I was always scared of finding a dinosaur in my back yard when I was little, I knew they were extinct but I liked to dig so I thought they’d break through the dirt and come back😭

I am a geologist working on the field of paleontology. Sof tissue is rare, but there are still many ocasions when we found it. Basically you just need a very fast burial of the animal. But still dna won't survive at least 66 million years.

We do have dinosaur DNA. Birds are Dinosaurs. And coding genes don't usually disapear. They merge, get switched off, or preempted by new genes overtime. So the other way to do this, is to figure out what changes happened in what order and reverse those steps. Because most of the raw information should be there to work with.

There’s a series of documentaries that use recovered dinosaur DNA to recreate the actual animals.

But birds ARE dinosaurs, so we do have dinosaurs DNA, just for 1 very specific group.

DNA has a half life of about 75 thousand years. Meaning in 150k years DNA is completely degraded. The closest dinosaurs were millions of years ago.

I don’t understand, Am I mistaken or are fossils not the literal bones or teeth of the animal but a cast of the bone? The bone decomposes and the area it once took up is filled with minerals.

Even if by some godless miracle that a strand of DNA survived, it’d probably be mutated to the point that the sequence is unreliable
