A New Zealand study has dampened hopes that we’ll ever see dinosaurs in flesh again. While it might be possible to create clones of some extinct species using DNA extracts, this won’t work for dinosaurs because their DNA already has fossilized or broken down into dust, the researchers say. If they are correct, looks like we can kiss goodbye to any fantasies of some day visiting a Jurassic Park and petting the pterodactyls. H/T SourceFed
