How could we not want to resurrect this beastie?
It's not just the king of dinosaurs, it's also the first time that this (cloning from DNA samples) has actually been possible with fossilized remains.
According to this story, scientists found what looks to be viable bone marrow tissue in a T-Rex bone that they had excavated in Montana.
Shades of Jurrassic Park indeed. A tip of the hat to The Tao of Mac for this news tidbit. (Of course, we all know that T-Rex was in the late Cretaceous, right?
I'm so excited. Is this a guy thing or what?
