I saw the solution and it seems okay, but I'm pointing out another idea, for a JIC (Just In Case) sorta deal. And the Chimera dinosaur/bird could be used for the Hadrosaurs, Ceratopsians, Stegosaurs, Ankylosaurs, and such. And could create Pterosaur/Crocodile chimera for pterosaurs (since crocodile and pterosaur eggs are similar).

Hmm, interesting.

I'm a lot more skeptical about cloning pterosaurs. Pterosaurs were a completely different group of archosaurs to dinosaurs. Moreover, pterosaur fossils are rare, so the chance of finding proteins and DNA in pterosaur fossils is even lower. And unlike dinosaurs, pterosaurs have no modern descendants, so we cannot deduce the genetic code of pterosaurs by comparing modern archosaur genomes. Maybe some pterosaur integument is preserved in amber, but this would be difficult to distinguish from mammalian fur and dinosaur protofeathers.
