This is good news. Should lead to some very exciting stuff and no I'm not talking about cloning....... link to story
Definitely. Skin coloration and type, cell shape, etc. I guess once a dino nerd, always a dino nerd...haha
And keeping with the dinosaur theme Enormous Jurassic Sea Predator, Pliosaur, Discovered In Norway link
I think the most interesting thing I read was that this wasn't the first mummified dinosaur they had found. That shocked me haha.
Well they have found other almost completely intact, fossils like you mentioned, such as the cave man they found a couple of years back. I had just never heard of them finding a dinosaur as such.
Found this A "mummified" dinosaur unearthed in North Dakota, a baby mammoth found frozen in Russia, or remains of penguins the size of people excavated in Peru: which discovery was the biggest hit with National Geographic News readers in 2007? http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/12/071226-top-dinosaurs.html 6. Mammoths to Return? DNA Advances Spur Resurrection Debate (June 25, 2007) Experts are close to piecing together the entire genomes of long-dead beasts. But bringing them back to life may—or may not—happen soon, depending on whom you ask.
I love the fact they continue to find these dinsoaurs in such great condition I have always been a dinosaur nerd and I would love to be alive when they do clone a dinosaur.
It would be cool if they could sequence DNA from a dino and figure out exactly what they looked like. I've been interested in dinosaurs since I was a kid...who would have thought back then (THIRTY YEARS AGO...God I'm old) that a lot of dinosaurs had feathers?
Dude, absolutely! I think they would have to stick to herbivores, though. Any predator large enough to take down a full grown elephant should be avoided AT ALL COSTS! It may be fiction (for now), but I just see JP happening all over again...
JP is the least of the problems dinosaurs would cause. Who knows if the environment is still built for them, and what they would do to the local wildlife.
OT, but Jurassic Park was a load of crap. The main point of the book seemed to be that zoos are impossible.
No, actually, the point was that reckless progression of science--doing stuff just because, rather than because we should--is dangerous.
No, that was it's proclaimed message in the movie, and even on that one it meandered around like a drunken sailor at Mardis Gras. But the point of the story was that, no matter how many precautions you take, things will go wrong and animals will break out in some improbable way and kill people. Also, both the book and movie showed a profound misunderstanding of what chaos theory actually is.
They could probably survive, but it would be cold and thin for them. I don't think they'd be dancing a jig. Of course, if we have the technology to clone dinos, we'd probably have them penned up in a climate-controlled environment to make things more comfortable for them.
chaos that as a system progresses it will lose energy thus becoming less predictable and more chaotic, or that any variables inputted into a system the outcome will be less predictable? Is that how you know it out of curiousity.
