Hum,
Yeah, I saw that….

From what I’ve heard on the street, it seems that the soft tissue found in the t-rex is actually a protein (though there is a bit of debate as to how it has changed into a `fossil` protein).

But there is no surviving DNA. But I suppose if you know the protein then you could technically work backwards to recreate the DNA sequence that created it.

Another slice of T-rex, vicar?

Hum,
A bit boring just creating things that have had already been done.
