Forum:Cloning dinosaur articles

On this wiki we are trying to create a well documented series of articles about cloning dinosaurs]. There are so many (and sometimes overlapping) subjects to cover. We really need to discuss which article needs to cover which subject. Please tell me what you think. [[User:BastionMonk|BastionMonk (talk) 14:51, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Subject tree
I've tried to list all possible subjects that needs to be discussed. Furthermore, I've tried to put them in an information tree. Maybe that helps. Feel free to edit it. BastionMonk (talk) 14:51, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Recreating dinosaurs: overview of the entire topic


 * Where to find Dinosaur cells
 * Dinosaur flesh
 * Ice
 * Where to find Mesozoic ice
 * Amber
 * Where to find Mesozoic Amber
 * Dinosaur blood
 * Amber
 * Parasites
 * Ice
 * Amber
 * Oil shale
 * Bones
 * Not discussed now

About parasites a lot needs explaining: What parasites?
 * mosquitoes
 * leeches
 * Midges

mosquitoes
 * Did mosquitoes existed in prehistoric times
 * Did they feed on blood
 * Did they feed on dinosaur blood
 * can mosquitoes be preserved in amber
 * Can a blood meal be preserved in amber
 * DNA from amber

About everything in amber has to be explained:
 * Extract fossil from amber
 * Extraction of DNA from fossil
 * DNA preservation
 * DNA multiplication or no multiplication
 * DNA sequencing
 * Sequence comparison

Articles
Right now all these subjects are supposed to be covered in these articles:
 * Dinosaur parasites
 * Amber
 * DNA in Amber
 * DNA in ice
 * DNA sequencing

Right now, the subjects aren't covered in an efficient manner. For instance, the Dinosaur parasites article has to list all fossil parasites we know from the Dino age... including the ones found in amber. However, this part of the subject is also covered in the Amber article.

I which of the two should we cover the subjects?
 * Did mosquitoes existed in prehistoric times
 * Did they feed on blood
 * Did they feed on dinosaur blood
