Dino DNA?
As I have mentioned before, there are many things that interest me beyond the focus of Classical Archaeology. Paleontology is one of those things. The T-Rex soft tissue recently discovered from the 70 million yr old Hell Creek Sandstone in Montana completely blows me away. As you will find in these articles, this discovery links dinosaur's to the modern day Ostrich; there is also potential to extract DNA from the soft tissue.
