"so no one ever thought to break open a dinosaur bone to see what was inside before?"

Normally they are rock, you know with them being fossils.

"uh-oh! they might find DNA! Jurassic Park for real!"

DNA rarely lasts a 1000 years let alone 68,000,000.

This is an interesting find but some guy reckons this might be a rare case of a polymer like material doing the structure replacement rather than rock.

The BBC article explains this

That's wacky. I was just googling last night trying to find images of wooly mammoths preserved in ice and reconstructed auroch skeletons.

(I'm really glad someone made the t. rex/dinosaur distinction clear, otherwise I wouldn't be clicking on this thread.)

Clone this sucka, stick him in a cage, and then charge, like, lot of money to look at it and poke it.
