I also have the book shown at 12:20, and if he dies before he has made his dinosaur, I will help carry on his discoveries.

Organic Dino material has been dug up for decades,in some cases , permineralized "raw" bones have even been found in Alaska.Someone will one day rewrite the book on Dinos in terms of their time-line relative to human history.Medieval accounts exist of the last "Dragons" hunted and finally killed out. All very fascinating.

i wonder how much land they sole from the citizens of Montana under the Clinton laws ?

[9000ALfilms]

sure a tyrannosaur and other theropods (with the exception of hadrosaurs and dryosaurs) resembles a bird, but what about a stegosaur or triceratops or ankylosaur or even a sauropod. i don't see how a trike, stego, sauropod or ankylosaurs resemble birds.

they have made wooly mammoth blood this is what the scientist said "The resulting hemoglobin molecules are no different than taking a blood sample from a real woolly mammoth" they also said this The concept could conceivably be used for any extinct species, as long as scientists have DNA samples

[JurassicParkLegend]

"so that must have been heart breaking cutting the femur in half"

"no not really, I mean, you get a chance to see inside"

Umm... "How could the earth go around the sun? It goes against everything that was always believed." .. Yes. Before copernicus, everyone believed the sun went around the earth. Just because we don't know something doesn't mean dinosaurs MUST be younger.

I wonderful why this episode ignores a questions not asked....maybe these things aren't as old we had previously thought....how could any dna survive millions of years...goes against everything that was always believed. Still if they bring back one..please not in my area...I cherish my pets. :)
