Not quite the same as extracting DNA from dinosaur remains! The last mammoths disappeared about 10,000 years ago and numerous frozen remains have been discovered. The last dinossurs died out about 65 million years ago (if you don't count modern birds) and all we have are fossils. They have found ticks in resin alongside feathers from dinosaurs, but DNA is a relatively short-lived molecule so Jurssic Park is not likely.

It would have to be from an insect bc large reptilian dinosaurs wouldn't get trapped in pine sap, it would have to be something very small.

I would most likely have come from raptors
