If Sam Neil isn't in this, I'm not watching it.  Jurassic Park 2 sucked because no Sam Neil!!!  (I like Jeff Goldblum but he couldn't carry the film on his own).

There are no known aquatic dinosaurs, though a good number could swim. Unless you count the ones who spent their time hunting fish on the river shore.

yes there are. They made a documentary about them.

I think he's just referring to the misconception that the large marine life at the time were also dinosaurs.

Yeah that's my bad, considering I'm a huge fan of dinosaurs I'm a little embarrassed I made such a mistake.
Just a little rusty on my palaeontology..
Still though do you guys think Ingen would have cloned prehistoric marine life? I wouldn't put it past them..but I could be wrong

Where would they get the blood from? Unless mosquitoes suddenly became aquatic...

Good point.  I do remember, though, that in the first book, they tried to retrieve some of the DNA from the fossilized bones.  Not sure what would be left though.

It could be theoretically possible to clone a marine reptile, within the blood-sucked-DNA-geologically-preserved world of Jurassic Park. It'd require the animal to come close to the shore, and ideally into a mangrove swamp type of area (where parasitic insects are particularly common). That may have happened - many species of sharks enter estuaries and swamps to give birth in a shallow, food-rich, creche-like environment. Dolphins prefer to give birth in shallow water too, and need to stay near the surface for extended periods when they do.

Given that marine reptiles all needed to surface to breathe, there would have been opportunities for parasites. The question is whether they could break through tough, scaly skin (which in the world of Jurassic Park they can) and whether they could tolerate brief submersion or detach at water level.

Trouble is, they all reproduced by live birth, not by eggs. It'd make them very difficult to recreate, even if you had the DNA - what has a uterus equipped to handle a huge swimming reptile?
