According to U of A, researchers "came across" the 2-millimetre-long crab embedded in a piece of amber jewelry in a Tengchong, China market back in 2015. LINK to article.

Wow, what a find! so...have two crabs been found? The amber shown here is different from the amber in the video.

I think the original piece has been trimmed down.

Incredible, of all the creatures I could imagine being found in amber, that was not one of them.  thanks for posting

Simply amazing!

I admit that my first reaction to the title of this topic was "here we go with another fake Chinese amber inclusion". This will teach me to be less jaded, and keep an open mind before checking these improbable claims.
