Near Perfect 99 Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Bird Wings Found Frozen In Amber

The nearly 100 million-year-old wings were found in remarkable condition in the market of Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin state. The two tiny wings, one 0.06 and the other 0.3 ounces, were perfectly preserved with feathers still attached.
