Scientists in Myanmar have discovered the "most complete" fossil of a baby bird ever recovered from the Cretaceous period, trapped in 99-million-year-old amber. The hatchling, complete with feathers, claws, skin and soft tissue around the eyelid and external opening of the ear, is believed to be an enantiornithean that went extinct about 65 million years ago. Almost all enantiornitheans had teeth, and each finger within the wing contained a claw.

false fairy wasp. The amber, which is formed when plant resin fossilizes, preserving flora and fauna trapped within, was found in what is now northwest Ethiopia. Ninety-five million years ago, it was part of a disintegrating Gondwana, one of two vast land masses that spawned the seven modern continents.

MATING INSECTS IN AMBER. Only in the fossilized tree resin, Amber, is prehistoric life preserved entirely unchanged for millions of years. Rarer still, however, is the preservation of life in action as here: a pair of small flying Gnats were doing what came naturally when they were caught in the sticky ooze, trapped forever in a golden prison in flagrante delicto.
