Plant Frozen then Revived....30,000 Years Later

Well...sort of. Scientists recently found a 30,000 year old squirrel burrow frozen in Siberian permafrost containing cells which they extracted and cultivated in a lab...what resulted was a flowering, fruit-bearing, seed producing  pleistocene plant which just happened to take a 30,000 year nap.

While this process is far removed from finding and re-animating an entire plant or animal, it definitely lends credence to scientists looking to permafrost as a way to unlock our planet's hidden secrets, not to mention giving a big boost to the reasoning behind the seed vault in Norway...
