One of the Top news stories on AOL today is the discovery of some mastodon tusks that measured 16 and 15 feet long. They are a matched pair having come from the same animal.The anthropologist estimate he was in his prime at about forty years of age. So lets hope they can extract a bit of viable DNA and clone some of these and hopefully about twenty years after I am dead there will be huntably mastodon.  We seldom get to choose But I've seen them go both ways And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory Than to slowly rot away! | ||

I remember reading somewhere that a japanese group where trying to clone a siberian mammoth but have heard no more 12x12/9.3x74R | |||

I follow paleontology closely, and this dig is in Greece, where previously there was a 13 foot tusk unearthed. They do not expect to find any DNA from this dig. However, they have Mammoth D NA but none of the cells are useful. Cells burst when frozen via nature, rendering them useless. Let's not mess around: if they're going to clone something, let's see Tyrannosaur's and Allosaurus. Now that's dangerous game at its finest!

In grad school I was actually in a lab where they were using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) to extract DNA from a T. Rex leg bone. This bone was exceptionally well preserved and the person who discovered it was touring the country letting different "experts" take a shot at getting DNA. One of these guys (actually hired as a consultant for the Jurassic Park movies) was in my Department. He was given 3 days and was able to get very small, essentially unusable pieces of DNA but that was years ago and that science was very young then. The cloning of extinct animals may not be as far off as we think. Kyler | |||

If there was enough money put behind it, mastodon could happen -- plenty of frozen samples, and elephants to carry it to term -- the problem is the research just to be able to control the elephant's cycle hasn't been done, so that'd be the first big hurdle, in addition to trying to either cobble together an intact nucleus -- probably easier/more likely to try and go through an large sample and find an intact nucleus.

I wonder what i will do if i walk out in the forest ara i own and spots an Wooly mammoth or an wooly rhino.......... I think that i might order an 600 NE Krieghoff 5 mintues afterwards that incident... "What are you going to use that for " the Police lady asks me "Wooly Varmints " im answering... But it sounds terrific with the cloning, but will the animals handle the enviroment as it is today, it was colder for the Mastodon, Mammoth and other game, and with the natural enviroment chance it is now as it was when they died out will it be good for them at all? | |||

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6284214.stm I thought this was cool too. It looks pretty well preserved. I for one would love to see them clone a mammoth somehow if possible... "Hunt smart, know your target and beyond" | |||

"...The mammoth has no defects except that its tail was bit off..." Bit off my arse! Obviously some Neaderthal's trophy has been stolen. An old man sleeps with his conscience, a young man sleeps with his dreams. | |||
