According to media reports, scientists at Oregon State University and the National Museum of History in London say that the world's oldest gecko fossil has been found, some of its body is always preserved, and it is wrapped in amber 100 million years ago. Among them.
Fortunately, amber has an unusual preservation capacity, making the claws of the amber gecko still visible in its tiny "foot thin layer" or sticky toe bristles. Research projects around the world have tried to simulate the unique sticky characteristics of geckos, but the success rate is very low. Perhaps during the Low Cretaceous period of 97 million to 10 million years ago, the body of the gecko has long been a delicious taste for small and medium dinosaurs or other predators in the rainforest. The amber fossil was allegedly found in Myanmar.
This archaeological discovery traces at least 40 million years of the history of the oldest gecko fossils, further revealing the evolution of ancient geckos, and letting people know more about how they lived together with dinosaurs in the global tropics during the Cretaceous period. And subtropical regions. George Bonner, a senior professor at Oregon State University, is a leading expert in the study of ancient plants and insects in amber in the world. He said that because of the unusual characteristics of geckos, people have a great interest in it. At present, this archaeological discovery has attracted the attention and favor of many researchers.
Based on a thin layer analysis of the foot of the gecko fossil toe pad, the gecko is likely to be a young, gecko that is small in size, and the adult body can reach 1 foot in length compared to the adult gecko species. Although the ancient gecko species millions of years ago were larger than the modern gecko, the amber ancient gecko currently found is less than one inch long, and when it dies, it is likely to be eaten by predators or The attack caused some of the corpses to be preserved in amber.
