Oct 10, 2019 Possible egg masses from amphibians, gastropods, and insects in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber The eggs of fish, amphibians, and many invertebrates are soft, delicate structures that are only rarely preserved in the fossil record. Here we report egg masses preserved as inclusions in mid-Cretaceous amber deposits of Myanmar. Of five specimens recovered, three of the egg masses probably pertain to insects, but the other two appear different. One mass is composed of relatively stiff eggs that retain their shape throughout the mass and may be linked by mucoid strands. This morphology resembles that of some terrestrial molluscs. The second mass is composed of softer eggs that have compressed one another so that their shapes are strongly distorted within the mass. These eggs most closely resemble those of amphibians. Given the forest environment reconstructed for the amber locality, the eggs were presumably attached on or close to the resin producing tree.
Update for the Declaration from DIP
Science has corrected
their negligence. We are grateful to the journal for their
positive response and revision. The text has been changed, and a
note at the end alerts readers:
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/05/fossils-burmese-amber-offer-exquisite-view-dinosaur-times-and-ethical-minefield ![]() May 26, 2019 The DIP has noted that Science published Sokol, J., 2019. Troubled treasure. Science 364 (6442): 722-729. DOI: 10.1126/science.364.6442.722. We are grateful to Science for its interest in Burmese amber. However, some of these statements are clearly not true, and these claims have seriously affected the reputation of the Institute. We express strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to it. <<<Details>>>> ![]() Feb 12, 2019 Birds of a Feather May Stick Together, but This Bird’s Foot Got Stuck in Amber "Researchers say the feathered specimen known as “Ugly Foot” or “Hobbit Foot” offers long-sought clues to the evolutionary path of birds."

Our team have uncovered an incredible specimen in Myanmar that
has given us a glimpse of life from 100 million years ago - a
piece of amber containing the remarkably preserved remains of an
ancient bird hatchling.

May, 2015 We have visited the mine area, and study amber in Myitkyina, Myanmar
June, 2014 We have visited the mine area, and study amber in Myitkyina, Myanmar
In 2014, we discovered amber amber containing a baby bird, wings and so on.
In 2013, we began to pay attention to the inclusion of Burmese amber
