99 Million-Year-Old Baby Bird Trapped in Amber Discovered in Myanmar

Great find op.
I'm an amber dealer and this just made my d#ck hard.

nice

Cool post OP

That's cool but how o all these things end up in amber?

Were there exploding resinous trees all over the place or what?

I've seen that movie.

It didn't end well.

Most of the time it's the flying insects that are just attracted to the sweetness of the resin. Other times it's just bad luck on the part of whichever insects or small creatures and plant matter gets caught in the resins. Valuable non the less but when you find a rare gem like a baby bird, especially in Myanmar...your gonna retire quick.
Chaipas has some of the best quality amber and the Chinese go crazy over it.

Yeah, right..

99 million years

Betcha they won't do a carbon-14 test on it...

Buy it!

I'd like a piece of amber with a dragonfly in it.

Have fun.

I saw it too. And you know what line of dinosaurs birds descended from? The line of T-Rex & Co.

Gives a whole new atmosphere to Hitchcock's "The Birds", doesn't it?



Have fun.

99 million years old? Why did it not evolve and looks exactly like birds we have today????

Betcha' you're correct as C-14 has a 1/2 life of only 5700 years so it is only good for about 60,000 years dating.

They can date it through various geochronology methods including radiometric dating (uranium-lead dating, etc.)

But what really happened here is that on the 16th day Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth decided to have fried chicken for dinner and they picked this poor bird and its brother for the feast and this is all that's left. So ended the line of the scaly feathered dinosaur-birds thanks to Noah and his yardbird eating family.

Have fun.
