"The specimen is spectacular, it is one of a kind. It's absolutely complete and is not missing a single hair on the body, which is remarkable," said Javier Luque, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, in a news release. He was the lead author of the study that published Thursday in the journal Science Advances.
The Chinese, US and Canadian scientists working on the amber specimen, which originated from northern Myanmar, named the tiny crab Cretapsara athanata. The name references the Cretaceous, the dinosaur-era period during which this crab lived, and Apsara, a spirit of the clouds and waters in South and Southeast Asian mythology. The species name is based on "athanatos," which means immortal in Greek, referring to its lifelike preservation in amber.

Why do they always find these kinds of things in places like that and not, say, just outside of Pineville?

He’d get shot by Chinese goons trying to steal these crabs! They don’t screw around!

Fauci requested access to see if they had any jurassic viruses he could send to the Wuhan lab to modify.

Elevation, climate, topography, and aridity all have to be in the perfect sweet spot to preserve something that long. And that sweet spot is not conducive to human life.
