  • You have very fair points, but I do have a small amount of hope that one day we could find or recreate usable T-Rex dna.

    Yes, I know that DNA degrades relatively quickly, and finding DNA more than a hundred thousands years old/ 1 million years old is incredibly rare, but I remember reading that in some edge cases that DNA has been found in cases of 1 million or 10 million years old, and around a decade or more ago, it was reported that possible cellular structures that may contain T-Rex DNA had possibly been found.

    I wouldn’t get my hopes up, and there are hundreds of potential problems though.

    I’m not a paleontologist or geneticist though.
