This is what martian “life” is going to look like when we find it.
Only no amber. Just rock.

Well there goes two bugs that will never make it to the water to sprout gills and swim away.

And when Grimaldi compared the ancient mites to their modern day descendants, he was surprised about how similar they are. Except for difference in the mouth and fewer legs, "they're dead ringers for (modern) gall mites," he said. Hmmmm......

I have several pieces of polished Baltic amber that contain a mosquito and an ant. Their preservation is perfect. Looking at them through a stereo (3D) microscope, I can see no obvious differences from modern specimens. They cause me to wonder how old that amber really is.

“they’re dead ringers for (modern) gall mites,”
What? You mean they haven’t “evolved” into something else?
Millions of generations and the mites are still mites.

Is this really news? Seems a huge percentage of amber sold has a bug in it.
