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.

Marine plankton found in amber

Okay, who is Amber and why has she been eating plankton?

Did they find in any rabbit fur in the amber?

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

Funny how these things that demolish the TOE in logic seem to just be ignored in favor of some almost irrelevant “Bright Spot.”
