On top of what the article says, even if we had pristine dinosaur DNA, the way we clone things is through a living host - so whatever we'd clone would be half-dinosaur, half-cow, or half-whatever animal volunteered a womb/egg.

Not necessarily half. There'd definitely be some sharing but when we clone things we replace the genome in the egg that's used. That said it'll share mitochondrial and other things during development

I get what you're saying but it would more likely be half-Dino, half-chicken :-)

As an aside though, wasn't there a place to reintroduce wooly mammoths? Wonder what happened to that.
