A 53-million-year-old gecko fossil was discovered almost perfectly preserved in Baltic amber. This Lower Eocene specimen represents a new genre and species, with a unique digital morphology, different from current geckos.

The 54-million-year-old Baltic Amber preserved key anatomical details, revealing surprising evolutionary adaptations. Unlike modern geckos, it displays primitive digital structures, which provides clues to the evolution of their locomotion.

They are believed to have developed adhesive pads multiple times in their evolutionary history, facilitating their adaptation to arboreal environments. This finding enriches our understanding of reptile evolution and past biological diversity.

The fossil highlights the importance of the Baltic amber as a window into the past, holding crucial evidence for science. A true treasure that connects modern biology to the origins of these fascinating creatures.

Baltic amber was worn by people of great status and wealth.

Autun, France was founded as Augustodunum by the Emperor Augustus as the capital of the Aedui people in the 1st century A.D. Most recent excavations have revealed the wealth and prestige of an ancient center of learning.

A set of 4th century carved Baltic amber pins were found in one of the burial sites. The pins are of such high quality and in such impeccable conditions that there are no comparable groups in the archaeological record.

The Amber Road trade route went from the Baltic Coast to the Mediterranean, then from the Black Sea to Egypt, and then was carried to Asia through the Silk Road.

The forbidden candies. They are here.

The Egyptians were importing lapis lazuli from Afghanistan in the predynastic period, and this would seem to be about the same distance. The world was a busy place in the ancient world.

I’m so serious about this, does anyone know where I could get a lil replica of this or someone I could commission to make one of these? Because I want one very badly. It’s the historical artifact ever and I’m obsessed.
