I wonder how often the scientists in Jurassic Park discovered DNA from something we hadn’t found in the fossil record yet, so they just ended up with something supremely weird and confusing with no idea what it was.
Putting aside the entire “that’s exactly how DNA doesn’t work” aspects of the Jurassic Park DNA Extraction and Organism Creation Process, I am DEEPLY enamored by the idea of them entering some DNA into their magical dinosaur-making microvave or whatever and having something Pre-KT Event but absolutely not a Dinosaur falling out.
Gorgonopsids. Microfauna like snails and lizards. Geese. Little Scuttling pre-mammals. The horrible sharks from God’s Deviantart phase. Mosquitoes drank from all kinds of shit! Let some of the other weirdos have a turn in the limelight!
EXACTLY. Who knows what’s coming out of that little dollop of amber. It could have 300 eyes and twelve legs. We just don’t know.
