UM-Bot Posted October 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2013 A fossilized mosquito filled with blood has been found that dates back over 46 million years. The discovery is the first of its kind anywhere in the world and represents an intriguing step towards the ideas outlined in the movie Jurassic Park in which DNA from blood retrieved from a prehistoric insect trapped in amber is used to create modern day dinosaurs.

highdesert50 Posted October 15, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2013 So, I suppose this find also answers the question as to which came first, that the mosquito preceded the homo erectus swat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximusnow Posted October 15, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Bring them back to life! I dream of a day where a father and son wakes at 4 am, put on the camo, grab a cup of coffe and jump in an old, beat up, pickup truck. They enter the forest early and begin calling with a T-Rexanator game call. A twig in the silence snaps! Then theres running and screaming and praying, GOD!!! what was I thinking!

Ealdwita Posted October 15, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I'm no palaeontologist, but isn't 46 million years a bit recent for us to start planning cages for T-Rex's etc? At that age, the blood's more likely to have come from a hippo or a camel. Edited October 15, 2013 by ealdwita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that age, the blood's more likely to have come from a hippo or a camel. That is true. Classical dino's were long extinct before the mosquito even came around, and the blood likely came from a thin skin bird(dino descendants), or some dead carcass of some other animal as you described.

green_dude777 Posted October 17, 2013 #14 Share Posted October 17, 2013 http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-02/whats-half-life-dna Unfortunately, the current thinking is that we won't be able to produce dinosaurs by fossilized DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
