”The world’s smallest dinosaur” found in amber, a new paper that was a prehistoric lizard
９９００万年前の琥珀（こはく）から見つかり、当初は世界最小の恐竜のものとみられていた頭がい骨について、実は先史時代の「奇妙な」トカゲのものだったとする論文が新たに発表されました
A new paper has been published that states that the skull, which was found in amber 99 million years ago and was initially thought to be the smallest dinosaur in the world, was actually a prehistoric ”strange” lizard. Ta
In the March 2020 treatise, the skull in amber was said to belong to a dinosaur with the scientific name ”Oculudentavis Kaunglaae”, but this treatise was later withdrawn.
This amber, which is better preserved, contained the skeleton, scales, and soft tissues of the lizard, including the skull.
The place of discovery is the same as the first specimen of Oculudentavis, which is the origin of amber in Myanmar, and both ambers date back 99 million years.
