In 2015, two researchers stumbled across a piece of amber jewelry in a market in Tengchong, China, that was found by miners in Myanmar. The piece has a young, five-millimeter-long crab embedded in it. That crab would be a major discovery in the study of crab evolution. A research team dedicated to the little crab […]

Fossils trapped in amber provide a unique snapshot of the anatomy, biology, and ecology of extinct organisms. The most common fossils found in amber

Discovered in Myanmar, the fossil is preserved at the Longyin Amber Museum in China's Yunnan and is the most complete crab fossil discovered to date.

The pristine fossil fills huge gaps in the fossil record, explaining how early crabs left the ocean for land.

Not only is it extremely well conserved, but also it is the first crab from the dinosaur era preserved in amber

The tiny crab bridges an evolutionary gap that stumped scientists for years.

The stunningly preserved, 100-million-year-old crustacean also highlights the conflict surrounding Myanmar’s amber mines.

A new discovery might be about to give your Jurassic Park cane an upgrade, as the first ever true crab from the age of dinosaurs has been found preserved i

Harvard researchers used micro-CT scans to analyze the crab in amber. The team saw crabs tissues like its antennae, legs and mouthparts - and not a single hair was missing from the specimen.

Researchers have discovered the oldest known modern crab – trapped in amber since the time of the dinosaurs. The 100-million-year-old fossil of the
