It's a bit of a fantasy that we might find a perfectly well preserved dinosaur in a glacier somewhere.


Not possible - the oldest ice we've found on the planet is much less than 10 million years old. Even if some area remained frozen long enough to contain an intact dinosaur, it would be buried deeply enough and under enough pressure to just be a bit more arctic oil by now.


What about amber? Don't tell me that's a lie too


Forget the dinosaurs, we can't even preserve the glaciers themselves these days!
