anthemaniac writes "Last year scientists recovered soft tissue from a T. rex. Now LiveScience is reporting that researchers have found fossilized bone marrow, the first discovery this this type of soft tissue, in frog and salamander fossils dating back 10 million years. Since the bone marrow was discovered 'in an environment vastly different form the one in which the T. rex soft tissue was found,' scientists now hope they'll find soft tissue in other environments and maybe from ancient mammals."

Someone invest some money in making a theme park!

It could be great. We could use frogs to fill in the gaps in the DNA and then just use cloning to make dinosaur attractions. I say we make them all women to make sure that we can control the population. Oh and strict export control so nothing crazy happens like a T-Rex lose in San Diego or something like that.
