A FROG!
“Frogs, frogs, marching through the night...”

I collect frogs, but not the living ones. I would have been “Frog Lady” on FR, but “Monkey Face” was chosen for me way back in ‘91. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it! ;o]

“...lived about 99 million years ago...”
So, there was a manufacturers date on it? Or they just magically knew this?

Its almost unheard of to get a fossil frog from this time period that is small, has preservation of small bones and is mostly three-dimensional, Is part of the frog trapped in another dimension? Which parts aren't three-dimensional??

All these stories of bugs and animals in amber. Did they have monster tree sap back then?

90 million years old and still looks like a frog so much for evolution.
To: Simon Green
I remember stories about frogs accidentally incased in building cornerstone time capsule areas and coming back to life after the stone was moved.
They should chip the amber away very carefully. And hope it isn’t on the DEA’s list of Tier 1 drug toads. (but that is another story about our government that you might think is a fairy tale)

I thought something along the same line when I used to drive by Toadsuck Park in Arkansas.
(Well it IS Arkansas)

99-million-year-old frog encased in amber
A 99-million-year-old frog is one OLD frog!?! How did he/she live so long? What was the secret to the frog's longevity? Should we all eat flies? Who encased the 99-million-year-old frog in amber?

It may be just as well, otherwise online doofuses like me would be asking if the way you got the name Frog Lady was a ribetting account.

Campfire Song “Don’t Lick a Toad”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erQtL09UKTY
15 or 20 years ago I saw a comedian who was touring in support of his recording, “Lick a toad!” Can’t remember his name, and there’s no apparent sign of him on the internet. Hey, if there were, you think I’d use a link to Red Green?

Heh, obviously it's all 3D, the goofy writer refers to the parts of the frog that were crushed, looks like he didn't hop, but was pushed into the fresh resin 99 million years ago. There are no suspects.

There’s a date stamped on the back of the neck.

Probably from the rock strata and other surrounding fossils - Potassium-argon dating (which even with rough million years inaccuracy still indicates it being still a very long time ago)
“excavated from northern Myanmar”
