Line 2:
So there's some creature long extinct, but there are fossils of it. Time to use some [[Applied Phlebotinum]] to [[Back from the Dead|revive the creature and reintroduce back in the present]].
 
Note that in Real Life, actual fossils don't have any genetic information - the tissue was replaced by stone long ago. - soThus, in most cases this is nowhere near hard or even semi-rigid science fiction.

** The only exception is Genesect, which was revived by Team Plasma, and is part Steel, instead of part Rock, due to being given a better, stronger body.
* The Las Plagas of ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' are revealed to be prehistoric, and were recovered from fossils in an excavation underneath the castle. God knows how old they really were.
* ''[[Parasite Eve]]'': Some sort of semi-sentient organic goo-thing, resulting from an accidental case of an [[InstrumentalityAssimilation Plot]], disappears into the New York Museum of History. Apparently deciding that [[Rule of Cool|dinosaurs are awesome]], it then flows across the exhibited skeletons and revives them as entirely fleshy - and quite aggressive - dinosaurs.
* ''[[Spectrobes]]'' has the titular creatures being revived in this fashion. However, their "fossils" are less traditional fossils and more stone statues in their shapes, making them more of a kind of [[Sealed Good in a Can]].
* ''[[Fossil Fighters]]'' does this more directly, with dinosaurs being revived from fossils. However, the technology that does so is a little... [[Sufficiently Advanced Technology|funky]], and gives the critters it revives [[Dinosaurs Are Dragons|elemental powers]].
