Invertebrates. dun dun dun.
Personally I find this amazing. Discovering a piece of the fossil record that otherwise would be unknown, hidden within the fossilized resin. But what is really astounding is how much detail is actually preserved on the specimens. Everything from a tiny hair to the veins on a wasp's wing.
One thing I find odd though, is that National Geographic uses photos that are not even on the Institutes website, in fact, National Geographic displays more photos then their actual website does. Quite the conundrum.

Quite the blog site Joel.
Looks like you have some work cut out for yourself trying to solve the mystery.
Keep up the blog site.
Can one add pics to this site???
I don't know which way you mean so i'll answer both ways.
1. No, you can't add pictures to my site.
2. If you have your own blog, yes you can.
Nice job Joel. Very fascinating information, just imagine how many species current and extinct we have no ideas about.
Truthfully Michael, I don't like to think about that. It upsets me how we could be missing out on such a large part of the natural history of Earth.
