What's the oldest plausible frozen specimen for a Jurassic Park style story-line?

We've found all sorts of interesting stuff in arctic ice & permafrost around the world.

Bacteria & the like far older than the more media friendly mammoth specimens have been found, living bacteria has been found in ice cores as old as 420,000 years.

The ebb & flow of the ice & permafrost through our various ice ages are probably a factor in what might plausibly have survived unthawed to be found & by extension where (not all dinosaurs lived exclusively in warm climates) & when any particular species was found.
