100-Million-Year-Old Bird Trapped in Amber! Scientists 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. Inside the amber, you can make out the head, tail, and neck of the bird, but it’s the wings and feet that are the real marvels – the chunk of fossilised tree resin has perfectly preserved the bird’s feathers, flesh, and claws, and gives us insight into a doomed group of prehistoric species called the ‘opposite birds’. In appearance, opposite birds likely resembled modern birds, but they had a socket-and-ball joint in their shoulders where modern birds have a ball-and-socket joint – hence the name. They also had claws on their wings, and jaws and teeth rather than beaks. The team suspects that the little bird fell into a pool of conifer sap soon after it hatched, and got trapped in the tar-like liquid. The last photo is of the wing.

The rarity of gold: Here’s an image of all of the world’s mined gold in history, in one cube with dimensions of 20.5m (65.6 feet). If it was all melted, it would fit within the confines of an Olympic Swimming Pool. All gold mined in history would weigh only 166,500 tons. Divided into four levels of percentage used (or held by governments), the greatest level is jewelry (50.5% of all gold), the 2nd level is private investment (18.7%), the third level is world governments (17.4%), and the lowest level is other uses for gold such as industry (13.4%). For the companies exploring for gold, a deposit that has more than one gram of gold for every ton of earth is an exciting prospect. In fact, in a 2013 report summarizing the world’s gold deposits, it was found that the average grade of gold deposits in the world is around that amount: about 1.01 gram per ton of earth. Think about that for a moment. One gram (0.035 oz) is equal to the mass of a small paper clip. This small amount of gold is usually not even in one place – it is dispersed through a ton of rock and dirt in smaller amounts, most of the time invisible to the naked eye. Gold is very rare. . . . . #themoreyouknow #tkp #tkpgold #goldisveryrare (at The Karat Patch - Big Spring, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzF_RtjOP5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vxslor9q51n6
