100-Million-Year-Old Giant Sperm Found Fossilized in Amber (CNN) Scientists have found the oldest sample of animal sperm, concealed in a 100 million-year-old piece of amber. Paleontologists discovered the sample in the reproductive tract of an ancient female crustacean encased in resin -- one of several samples of ostracods from Myanmar.#giant #amberfossil #fossils #fossil #sperm https://www.instagram.com/p/CFRQF_3Hhjy/?igshid=q4vffrh7g1hk

Believe it or not, this gecko roamed Earth 54 million years ago! Its name is Yantarogekko balticus, and it's so exceptionally preserved in Baltic amber that it looks like it was alive yesterday. Since its discovery in 2005, even older geckos from up to 99 million years ago have been found in amber, revealing the evolutionary history of their extraordinarily grippy toes. ​. ​📷: Bauer et al., Journal of Zoology, 2005 . .
