Nucleic acids are a more reactive species, and the half life of DNA is only on the order of 500 years or so.

The best bet we have to get something resembling dinosaurs is to invent them. By using extant theropod DNA, we could genetically engineer our way backwards. Basically improvisation.

The technology for this doesn't exist yet, and the ethics would be extremely questionable.
