Have always been fascinated by pictures of animals trapped in amber, or fossilized tree sap. Almost invariably, these are dated to tens of millions of years, and look almost exactly like their modern day descendants.


Looks like a scorpion to me.

Looks like a lizard.

Looks like a baby bird.

Looks like a bee.

Looks like a flea.

Looks like a spider.

Yes, many bugs and reptiles haven't changed much in a very, very long time. But I hope you aren't basing your view of that baby bird on the artist's rendering. The actual specimen had a jaw with teeth, rather than a beak. It had claws on its wings. It was a dinosaur with feathers.
