2015年秋,一个由中外科学家组成的研究小组从琥珀商那里买到这块琥珀。之后,他们采取多种无损成像和分析手段对其进行分析,最后认定琥珀中的这段尾巴来自一只恐龙。2016年12月初,他们正式对外宣布,在琥珀中发现了有史以来第一件恐龙标本!这是一段9900万年前的长6厘米的恐龙尾巴。这段尾巴长有羽毛,其他细节也保存完好。 In the fall of 2015, a research group of Chinese and foreign scientists bought the amber from amber merchants. Afterwards, they analyzed it using a variety of non-destructive imaging and analytical techniques and concluded that the tail in amber came from a dinosaur. In early December 2016, they officially announced that they had discovered the first ever specimen of dinosaurs in amber, a 6-centimeter-long dinosaur tail 99 million years ago. The tail has feathers, other details are well preserved.
