    DNA preserved? Unlikely. No Jurassic Park.

    I suspect there could well be fragments of DNA preserved, but undoubtedly too damaged to be of use Jurassic Park style.

    Perhaps the most exciting part is that they expect to find an entire specimen preserved, now that they have better access to the amber mines. Plenty of frogs, lizards and even snakes have been found in amber so, why not miniature/baby dinosaurs? 
    Great times :B
