The bundle of giant sperm was found in the storage organ of a female crustacean encased in amber.
Ostracod crustaceans were entrapped in this tiny piece of Cretaceous amber found in Myanmar.

Bill Clinton relieved, he was afraid his ex-mistress had squealed.

100 million years?
When the ancient sperm is released with a modern crustacean
that will end a very lengthy delayed organasm.
Under Ankh-Morpork, the Great Turtle Atun will be pleased.
Amber alert!

Isn’t Amber a little old to be slutting around like that?

This is a perfect situation to test the evolution theory.
Do a DNA analysis of this and compare it to modern day descendants’ DNA....................

"This female must have mated shortly before being encased in the resin," He Wang, from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Nanjing, said in a statement.

100 million years is a horribly long time ago.
I wonder whether there was sap (amber) that long ago.

ANOTHER Joe Biden thread???!!
To: Fred Nerks
The question has to be, what was the force which squeezed the sap from the trees in liquid form which instantly entrapped living creatures...?>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hurricanes, wind storms, lightning ?

Superheated, silicone-laden water. Turned the trees into 'glass'.

And she told me she wasn’t a day over 99,999,999 years.
To: Fred Nerks
And extracted millions of gallons of vitrified amber in vortex discharge in water full of crustaceans.
I’d say thats a “go.”
