Too bad author Michael Crichton just recently died . This has all the makings of a new sci-fi blockbuster! “Cretaceous Park”. Except, instead of T-Rexes and V-Raptors running around killing and eating people, we’d have microscopic critters floating in the sea not bothering anyone. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it!

"The presence of these marine organisms in the amber is an ecological paradox. How did these marine species become stuck and then trapped in the conifers' resin? The most likely scenario is that the forest producing the amber was very close to the coast, potentially shrouded by plankton-bearing mist or flooded by sea water during storms." Seriously, geologists should be able to determine if the location was near a sea at the time the amber was deposited. All they need to do is look at the type of rock formations associated with it. ie, marine or terrestrial-based sediments.

Actually, T-Rexes and velociraptors were from the Cretaceous. “Jurassic Park” just had a more marketable ring to it, I guess.

Yes, and T-Rexes were only around at the very end of the 80 million year-long Cretaceous Period, perhaps just the final 2 million years of it, right up until the time the asteroid or whatever it was wiped the dinosaurs out. The Cretaceous Period was the interval between 145.5 to 65.5 million years ago.

Did they find in any rabbit fur in the amber?

Okay, who is Amber and why has she been eating plankton? She's on the spirulina diet?

Is Marine plankton different than Army plankton, Navy plankton or Air Force plankton?

Aren’t you going to tell us how we all evolved from a single cell and that we are nothing more than highly advanced animals and that there is no such thing as right and wrong and truth is relative and there is no God?

Arent you going to tell us how we all evolved from a single cell and that we are nothing more than highly advanced animals and that there is no such thing as right and wrong and truth is relative and there is no God? You're jumping to a whole lot of strange conclusions here. First, why can't evolution and God coexist? Second, what does the concept of right and wrong have to do with believing in God? Are you saying one can't have moral values if they aren't religious?
