In Myanmar tale of dinosaur has been found in the piece of amber

The description of the discovery and conclusions of scientists are contained in the article published in the magazine Current Biology.

The piece of amber in a diameter approximately 3.6 centimeter was polished for the further jewelry proceeding. The salesperson supposed that in the amber a fragment of some plant petrified.

The microscopic analysis and computer tomography showed that indeed it is the tail of pre-historic animal.

The further investigations demonstrated that the tail belonged not to the pre-historical bird, as it had been initially considered, but to the featured dinosaur.

The fragment found consists of eight spinal bones, as the scientists regarded the full length of the tail was, at least, thrice more.

With the help of chemical analysis it was defined that soft tissues around the bones contain the traces of bivalent iron. It appears that there were stains of blood.

As the investigators mark, here and there feathers at the tail of dinosaur which resembled one belonging to mouse even saved its initial color.

There is every likelihood, the dinosaur got stuck with the tail in the resin, because there is no evidence of the fact that dinosaurs were able to get rid of the tails how the modern lizards do.

According to the opinion of investigators, the tiny dinosaur referred to the suborder of theropods, two-legged predators. It had the size of sparrow, however, it could not fly.

The suborder of theropods included also tyrannosaur, one of the largest predators in the history of planet, whose length of skeleton could reach twelve meters while mass could stay at the level of almost seven tons.
