For example, right now they are using chickens, because they believe chickens, and some other birds came from the rapter family of dinosaurs.
They can not do it like in Jurassic Park. DNA even in a mosquito does not last for more than a few hundred thousand years.
Even a mosquito, huh? I'm no scientist, but it seems to me a 100 ton creature might last a little longer than a mosquito.

But if they are, as you say, just trying to create a Frankenstein that looks like a dinosaur, that is worthless for research, and that is the kind of weird science that I dispise.
