Lizards in Amber

[Mousehead]

Bugs are cool, but lizards are cooler.  Apologies to any resident entomologists.  Here are some new vertebrates in my amber collection:

 

- Chiapas amber from Mexico: 4cm lizard hips & tail on top of a nearly complete leaf (17-25myo)

- Burmite amber: fat lizard tail (99myo) – is this a gecko?  As a kid I had house geckos as pets and their tails were pretty similar.

 

Maybe one day I'll be able to afford the whole lizard.

Very interesting.  I never seen one in amber before, never mind two.

That last pic is one healthy chunk of amber!!!

Its even a bigger bonus to have recognizable things within it.

Great stuff!

 

If you can get someone to micro CT scan it it might become easier to identify the species.
