Her work has been extremely controversial, but our research, which uses different techniques, strongly vindicates her findings, the difference between her work and ours is that our fossils are, frankly, really crappy, whereas hers were very well-preserved.

Although we have found dense internal structures that we have interpreted as nuclei in our cells, and the cells we found appear to preserve original components of blood, there is no evidence of any organelles or DNA within the nuclei, but even if one was to find some fragments of DNA, we would not be able to reconstruct a dinosaur 'Jurassic Park-style' because we would need the complete genome to figure out where the holes in the DNA are.

It's exciting because it helps us understand how stegosaurs gradually acquired the features of their iconic body plan, bashanosaurus didn't have the giant plates extending along its back like Stegosaurus had ; instead it had much smaller, spine-like( armor), that arguably would have been more useful for defending itself against predators than the very thin but very flashy( armor) of Stegosaurus, which might have been more about display.
