Scientists Discover Something Remarkable Trapped in Amber: Ancient Sea Creatures

Amber from Myanmar in Southeast Asia is turning out to be an incredibly rich resource for examining the natural world of 100 million years ago. In the last year, it's turned up frogs, snails, a snake, weird feathers, and some pretty wacky bugs. What do all of those have in common? They're land-dwellers.

But now palaeontologists have discovered something really weird in a small chunk of Cretaceous Myanmar amber: sea creatures, side-by-side with land-dwelling creatures.
