The whole extracting-dino-DNA-from-fossil-amber concept is a washout. DNA that old isn't available. I think the only species which could be cloned back into life are those which have left some fairly recent remains - like dodos, the moa, perhaps mammoths, passenger pigeons, the great auk, giant grizzlies.
My personal prediction for a Real Soon Now cloning project is Phar Lap;)
