Recommended: How dino proteins could survive
Fragments of proteins are a far cry from actual DNA. However, hypothetically if the structure of a complete protein can be determined from the fragments, the DNA sequence to make the protein could be synthesized. If the DNA from enough living dinosaurs (birds) is sequenced, a basal genome could be constructed. The gaps (huge) in this genome could at least be partially filled by crocodile DNA (closest non-dinosaur relative), the synthesized DNA from protein structures, and a whole lot of guess and luck. The resulting creature would not actually be a non-avian dinosaur, but rather a kind of facsimile. Since the Jurassic ended some 135 million years ago, soft tissue from that time is much less likely to have survived. The dinosaur soft tissue in question comes from the late Cretaceous, about 70 million years ago. Thus the park should be called "Cretaceous Park".

Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs: Age of the Dinosaur
At the Natural History Museum in London the dinosaurs are currently undergoing a long-overdue dusting-down. This might disappoint you or your irritating, shrieking sprogling(s) should you visit, but not to worry - there's a temporary exhibition on until September 4 that promises plenty of Mesozoic action. It's entitled 'Age of the Dinosaur', and circumstantially I happen to have been twice. Here's a run-down. (Awesome Essentials first - it'll cost you £10 to get in, or £6 for concessions (including kids and students, or people whose student IDs haven't expired yet - hurrah). Photography is apparently prohibited, although they only told me that on my second visit, so (as you have seen) I do have photos from the first time around. Sorry, Natural History Museum. Please don't send me any threatening letters...I love you really. Obviously the life-size animatronics are the main draw, and I'll get back to those - but there's a preamble with plenty of interesting specimens/casts on show, some of which NHM veterans/nerds may recognise as having been dug out of storage ( You will find the usual basic dinosaur background information on the walls (the sort of stuff that readers of this blog will already be very, very familiar with) and various blown-up illustrations of varying merit. Some of the 'facts' are a little bit suspect - for example, the introductory text claims that dinosaurs ruled the Earth for 250 million years. Which I suppose is sorta true, if you believe that birds currently 'rule the Earth'. Much as I like avian dinosaurs, I'm not sure I'd agree - although maybe I'm succumbing to synapsid chauvinism. ( Worth the money, then? I'd say so. However, the company that produces the robots is also apparently behind those used in the 'Dino Jaws' exhibition, which the NHM held previously and is currently underway at Birmingham's Thinktank museum - and some of the robots are identical. Therefore if you've seen 'Dino Jaws' you might want to think twice if you are short on cash/a miser. On the other hand, it's worth remembering that there's more to see here than just the robots, and the money's going to a good cause. If you're in the Natural History Museum this summer, give it a go. Remember though: no photography...
