Small bugs from Triassic period found in amber...
Pretty cool...100 millions years older than any bugs found prior.
I remember the Smithsonian Magazine having an article in the 1990's about bugs trapped in amber, and how the possibility of using them to bring back extinct animals isn't too far off. Of course, the story followed the release of Jurassic Park... Prehistoric tiny bugs found trapped in amber - Yahoo! News

I read about them this morning. 143,000,000 years old.
Amazing!
