Creatures get trapped in amber all the time, but most prehistoric finds are insects. Amber is a great material for preserving arthropods because of their already tough shells that will hold on even if the insides disintegrate. But what about a lizard? Retinosaurus hkamentiensis is a new extinct species of lizard that was unexpectedly found trapped in Burmese amber. No one expected an entire reptile to be preserved so well, from its scaly skin down to its skeleton.

I thought the GEICO lizard was just 80 years old.

I don't; nor do I think the earth is anywhere as old as we are constantly told. Okay, but don't just criticize without offering us a better alternative!
What would you estimate, if not 4.5 billion years?
2 billion years? 1.2 billion years? 500 million years?
Backseat drivers criticize without providing better alternatives!

Identical to a modern lizard. Huh, imagine that. Evolution is so totally true.

The past tense of “autocorrect” is “autocorrected”.

Like some trustworthy guy said: “follow the science”. (Or something like that)
I’m sceptical too. But am getting more certain that the time ahead is short.
