Here is a video Akbar Published on May 16, 2017 from his recent visit to investigate India's amazing amber locations and the in depth scientific research being done.

One of the largest most advanced institutes for paleoscience is quietly located in Lucknow and is home to many true scientists that research everything paleo - they do not focus on T-rex like egotistical scientists they focus on everything so be it prehistoric worms ameobas pollens spores, no matter how small or insignificant for many scientists here in Lucknow everything paleo is researched and from every environment. I personally was most impressed by the pollen in amber research being done by Dr Hukam Singh who is famous for his work with Dr Sahni and Dr Grimaldi - the institute has an amazing paleo museum but I am not going to spoil the surprises in store by uploading my video of the massive collection - if you want to see it then if you are lucky and contact in advance then you might be able to see an unseen paleo world with fossil specimens from all over the world.
