A Canadian researcher has helped identify a 99-million-year-old dinosaur tail which has been preserved in amber. The specimen was purchased from a Myanmar amber market in 2015 by a Chinese academic who recognized its potential. Ryan McKellar, curator of invertebrate paleontology at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, worked with his Chinese counterpart to identify the muscles, ligaments and skin of the tail. (McKellar says it's unique because it's the first time dinosaur bone material and feathers have been found preserved together in the same piece of amber.)
