Possible 25 Million Year Old Frog Found 151
dispatch writes "A small frog, found preserved in amber, has been found by researchers in Mexico City. The frog, according to the scientists, may be some 25 million years old! According to the article: 'The chunk of amber containing the 0.4-inch frog was uncovered by a miner in southern Chiapas states in 2005 and was bought by a private collector, who lent it to scientists for study.' Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as though the scientists will be allowed to drill into the rock, at the owner's request."

Patience my friend, if it's anything like today's frogs it will have a gut full of mosquitos we can drill into.
Seriously, if you are interested in amber and bugs (plus a bonus lizard), David Attenbourough's "Amber" doco is a must see.

He certainly missed that part of the bible about render unto Caesar and do unto others. So I would guess that in all the other fields he claims to offer startling evidence that overthrow the existing theories and mountains of data, he's probably missed the boat too.
