You might be able to get proteins/ protein fragments but certainly not 
complete DNA.  You would separate out the components and inject them 
into living tissue cultures to see what antibodies appear.  You could 
then work backwards to figure out what proteins are present. Useful, 
but hardly a Jurassic Park cloning experiment.
