dinobird head in amber

In the image below we see the "scaly" tetrapod head, upon initial examination it appears to be feathered and indeed to the right of the creature there is a large flight feather in the amber. The second image is a close up. This head can also be seen in the images of the full piece of amber and those show how the wong bone connects and leads down to its wingclaw holding a small baby.

We have discovered quite a few birds in amber, they are amongst the hardest of all inclusions to find in Burmite, often they suffer from bad decay, poor amber transparency. Very rarely indeed do we find exceptional bird inclusions in amber and a few of them are shown on this website on various different pages.
