You need genetic material for that and unfortunatly that does not preserve even close to well enough to clone a non avian dinosaur.

If we managed to make a computer model where you can input a DNA sequence and the model can produce the corrosponding organism, you could almost brute force it (run DNA sequences until your model comes up with a dinosaur that matches our fossils).
