Title: 30,000-Year-Old Flower
Post by: oakranger on February 21, 2012, 03:28:58 PM
Remarkable and attractive flower. However, there could be some repercussion that they need to take on.

The seeds date back 30,000 to 32,000 years and raise hopes that iconic Ice Age mammals like the woolly mammoth could also eventually be resurrected.

He who finds the first Woolly Mammoth seed wins.

Your right.  They can mass produce it if it has a new street drug that is not in the market yet.

As cool as it sounds, I hope the specimen never leaves the lab. The last thing we need is ancient extinct species proliferating across the world, further displacing existing plants, etc.. This could create havoc in the worlds ecosystems.

In a way it is not extinct as long as the seeds are dormant. They're just need the right environmental condition to grow.  And yes, this can cause a negative effect like Sericea lespedeza has on the Grassland of the U.S.

The article said that it's almost identicle modern day speciman still grows around that area. It hasn't invaded the world yet so I don't see why this ancient specimen would.

It didn't survive the first time, mother nature will take care of it this time!

Please read the proceeding statement in a humorous manner, I'm aware that is not how natural selection works

I think maybe the identical modern day specimen might have ended up in the pot...
