Perfectly preserved in amber is a
dinosaur tail found in Myanmar.
This unique discovery gives a clearer picture of a group of dinosaurs that roamed the earth more than 160 million years ago.
Over 99-million year old amber was polished for jewelry. The person selling it thought it was part of a plant. Closer inspection revealed it to be the tail of a feathered dinosaur about the size of a sparrow.
Dr Mckellar said the tail anatomy showed it belonged to a feathered dinosaur, not an ancient bird.
There are signs the dinosaur still contained fluids when it was incorporated into the tree resin that formed into amber. Suggesting it could have been trapped in the resin while still alive.
