Newfie Kuriboh Shark Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Have you seen it? Its huge! Its at the museum of natural history here in nova scotia. It pretty much started a whole trend at the front entrance for dinosaurs. Very interesting, and now open for discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I saw Sue once while I was on vacation with family. I couldn't believe that it was real, and I was a bit scared. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 If Sue is the most perfectly preserved Tyrannosaurus discovered, wouldn't that mean there would be enough DNA to actually re-create a dinosaur (or are the laws set by the government that prohibits cloning going to be a roadblock again)? All I would want to see is a real, living and breathing dinosaur come back onto this world (Well, there may not be enough space for it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is possible to clone a dinosaur, a man cloned his sheep. though it would take longer because the sheep had a fresh blood sample, and a t-rex bone would very small dna samples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, more DNA samples would increase the speed of the process if I am not mistaken? I hope there isn't any gargantuan argument of National proportions over resurrecting dinosaurs from DNA.

Yang Xiao-Long Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Believe it or not, a prime long bone specimen from any dinosaur species has its soft tissue preserved at the joint ends. When this tissue is treated in the lab, it will regain its elasticity. Also, one guy believed that dinosaurs descended from birds. To prove this, he was able to genetically modify a chicken to grow teeth in its beak. The chicken didn't hatch though, unfortunately. But yes, cloning a dinosaur could be possible one day. On the topic of Sue: I've never seen her, but I can just imagine that she'd be quite the site for a dinosaur lover. (I was one as a child. I guess that happens to you when you are able to say Tyrannosaurus Rex and Brachiosaurus in preschool xD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
