Might of been eaten. Since it was preserved in amber might we extract its DNA and open up a theme park ?

They already said the genetic material is long gone. Total SF.

Just because there is blood in there doesn't mean you can find intact DNA in it after tens of millions of years.

Not necessarily. The well known trex found with soft tissue, as well as several other more preserved examples may contain DNA.

Indeed, my chickens tear each other apart at the first sign of weakness or sickness, demonstrating their heritage.
And what about those enraged cassowaries in Oz that were disemboweling chaps after the floods like a bunch of bloody Deinonychus?
