Couldn't help but notice Nat Geo is still pushing their Anthropomorphic Global Warming nonsense via a video hosted by that noted "scientist", Leo DeCaprio, Before the Flood. Devotees to the hoax aren't very big on irony or humor so I doubt they see either in a title that for most people would evoke images of Noah, the Ark, and Creationist explanations of the fossil record.

The extinct gekko Yantarogekko balticus in 44 million year old
baltic amber

While most people think of insects preserved in amber in very rare instances larger animals including small reptiles have been preserved.

Thank you for posting this! Most informative!

Also, how sad for that little bird to drown in the tar from a tree!

There seems to be a common idea that contemporary birds are “descendants” of the dinosaurs, however that could work. Actually, birds were already here when the dinosaurs ruled 65 million years ago.

We may be impressed at the age of the Earth, but it’s a newcomer compared to the age of the Milky Way galaxy. Metal-rich rocky planets in Goldilocks zones existed billions of years earlier than the Earth. Presuming life developed on one or more of them as it did on Earth, that means there were other civilizations at least as advanced as we are now, very, very long ago.

Consider for a moment how the pace of our technological advancement is continually accelerating, and then extend that into the future a couple of billion years or so. Consider the staggering implications for everything we see, and everything we are.

99 million years? Says WHO? The earth is only “thousands” of years old according to GOD and REAL science.
