Dino bone cells!
Fascinating: scientists have recently found surviving DNA in dinosaur bones. This is shocking to them, because DNA degradation rates can be measured precisely in the laboratory, and can't last for more than a few hundred thousand years at room temperature, but these dinosaurs are supposedly 75 million years old. As one of the scientists described the moment when she saw the stained DNA under the microscope, "I couldn’t believe it, my heart almost stopped beating."
