Can we see dinosaurs someday? Part III

But this is amber is fossilized tree resin that can contain insects in it, has found amber that is millions of years old and even some specimens that contain mosquitoes that could have bitten dinosaurs, that is, they could contain blood of a dinosaur.

The problem is again the DNA is degraded very easily when it is exposed to the weather in the environment so it is almost impossible to find some day dinosaur DNA that can be used for cloning, but we can always go to see movies or see practically the living living dinosaurs.

There are several species that are considered living dinosaurs, to mention some of them; The Mata Mata, a species of turtle that has not changed anything since it appeared on earth, has a very strong jaw to catch fish among other unique characteristics.

The coelacanth, a fish that was believed to be extinct, was discovered by Marjorie Courtenay-Latimere until 1938. It was thought to have become extinct 65 million years ago and its fossil record dates back 360 million years.

And the most popular and feared living dinosaur, the Shark, it is estimated that the white shark appeared in the Miocene, and the oldest fossils date from 16 million years ago.

Well we will have to hope that it will improve even more the technological advances in cloning and be very lucky in getting and reproducing a viable dinosaur, for now let's enjoy the ones that are left and the representations shown in the movies.
