Are fossils examples of organic matter and why?

Yes, fossils are examples of organic matter because they are the preserved remains or traces of once-living organisms. Fossils can include bones, shells, teeth, and other organic materials that have undergone a process of mineralization or replacement with inorganic materials to become stone-like structures.


Can you bring back an animal back from its fossils?

Nope Unless you've successfully managed to clone living creatures, and you have plenty DNA to work with, bringing an animal from its fossils would be impossible.


Where large fragments of DNA would be found?

If you mean in fossils or decomposed bodies, it would be best found in the teeth.


Do fossils have DNA?

Occasionally. Fossils are rare, and most often only preserve hard parts such as shells and bones. Fossil invertebrates and even single celled organisms are known. A Russian group recently reported finding a fossil of two cells in sexual union. On a side note, the preservation of fossils generally declines with age. Nearly intact DNA has been recovered from Neanderthal skeletons that are a few tens of thousands of years old and tissue residue containing highly degraded DNA was found inside a 70 million year old T-Rex bone. But no one has ever found even the slightest trace of DNA from a Trilobite, because the last of these died out some 250 million years ago.


What is the DNA structure of a brontosaurus?

We have no DNA from Brontosaurus, or any other dinosaur. DNA can last hundreds of thousands of years in permafrost, but no Brontosaurus fossils have been preserved constantly in permafrost. Additionally, Brontosaurus fossils are millions of years old, not hundreds of thousands, so even if it had been constantly frozen they probably would still have no DNA left. One last note: Brontosaurus is not a real dinosaur; you are referring to Apatosaurus.
