Mammoth Tusk Found at the Bottom of Pacific Ocean

I wonder if they can get viable DNA from this tusk? I know there is a group of scientists trying to amass enough to clone one. I am totally on board with this and can’t wait to see a live mastodon. Note I did not say I hope they repopulate the planet with them. What a wonder to see it would be.
I am still on the fence about that. As much as i would love to see something like that in person, the other voice tells me "What's dead is dead...leave it be." Would we be prepared for the consequences of bringing something back that hasn't existed on this planet for such a long period of time?
