There's no way to acquire DNA, and therefore no way to bring them back aside from time travel A real game developer does not need the original code of the first Mario game to recreate it for the PS4. They can just look what it has to look like and write new code from scratch. Similarly the future scientists, who will fully understand genotype-fenotype relations and embryonal development, do not need the original dino DNA to recreate similar animals. In the future scientists can even create unicorns, dragons, sphyxes etc. Dinosaurs will be easy. And there are many tricks to make the synthetic genomes have a similar structure as the Mesozoic ones. Fair enough. I can definitely see that. But, as you say, it would be similar. Not a perfect recreation of a Corythosaurus.

Well I guess Jurassic Park's Corythosaurus (oddly enough, not on InGen's list) had gaps in the genome filled, so it wouldn't be a perfect recreation either.
