Suspended animation is the slowing of life processes by external means without termination. Breathing, heartbeat, and other involuntary functions may still occur, but they can only be detected by artificial means. Extreme cold is used to precipitate the slowing of an individual's functions; use of this process has led to the developing science of cryonics. Outside of science fiction, the technique has never been applied to humans for more than a few hours.
Placing astronauts in suspended animation has been proposed as one way for an individual to reach the end of an interplanetary or interstellar journey, avoiding the necessity for a gigantic generation ship; occasionally the two concepts have been combined, with generations of "caretakers" supervising a large population of frozen passengers.
Since the 1970s hypothermia has been induced for some open-heart surgeries as an alternative to heart-lung machines. Hypothermia though only provides a limited amount of time to operate and there has been some evidence of risk of tissue and brain damage

Don't believe everything you read! Such a thing is not possible. Suspended animation is a method of halting metabolic processes (movement, respiration, heartbeat, etc.), usually by freezing, and later restoring normal functioning, in the same way that you can freeze maggots and thaw them and they are alive. Cellular damage during the freezing process currently prevents its use on humans.

Suspended animation is giving something a quantum probability of zero, this means that you remove is ability to effect existence temporarily. It can not decay and will not age. However this is not possible through freezing and tar, etc. So this dinosaur story is mostly likely false.

It is a state very similar to hibernation as in bears and other mammals.
And don't believe that dinosaur story.
