REPTILIAN FOOT




                         Age: 100 million years old

                         Location: Myanmar


                         Period:  Cretaceous

                         Fossils in amber are important examples of the kinds of forest life that existed
                         tens of millions of years ago. Research into amber specimens provides informa-
                         tion about not only the life forms preserved in them, but also about their habi-
                         tats and other living things in their ecosystem. This 100-million-year-old fossil

                         shows how reptilian feet have remained unchanged despite the passage of so
                         much time. Whatever characteristics living reptiles have now, they are the same
                         as to those living 100 million years ago.
