Bingo! Dino DNA!

[Faelrin]

Okay after getting the obligatory Jurassic Park quote out of the way, there's been an interesting study done regarding Hypacrosaurus, a hadrosaurid, and they possibly have found evidence of DNA (and chromosomes) preserving, which was previously thought to be impossible because of its short half life. While dinosaurs being cloned and brought back from extinction is probably never going to happen (still waiting on those mammoths for example), this is still an interesting discovery if not exciting. Of course there is also another fascinating look at dinosaur soft tissue that has preserved in some degree that is worth checking out.

It seems to be open access as well. I'll be giving it a read, but wanted to share it here first.
