Thousand of bird fossils of Cretaceous period found intact

Two new fossil shows a specimen of a small bird wings trapped in amber - the fossilized tree resin - which had been outstanding for more than 100 million years. These findings carried by the international team of researchers, including Professor Mike Benton from Bristol University, published in the journal Nature Communications.

Scientists have unearthed the remains of thousands of prehistoric animals frozen for millions of years in amber. The remarkable fossils include birds from the time of the dinosaurs, whose perfectly preserved feathers show little change in the blueprint used by birds today. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1bkBR9)

Benton said, the specimen was obtained from well-known amber deposits in northeast Myanmar, which has been producing thousands of specimens of insects of all shapes and sizes, as well as spiders, scorpions, lizards, and bird feathers. However, the invention becomes the first of the bird parts was found intact.

As quoted of the Daily Mail on Wednesday, June 29, 2016, the fossil of wings have two to three centimeters long and has a wing frame, including claws and feathers preserved very detailed in amber.

Two of the specimens include the tiny preserved wings of birds, whose bodies were caught in the sticky sap of a tree almost 100 million years ago. Pictured is one of the specimens under UV, showing the flow lines of the sap and the structure of he wing. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1bkBR9)

Anatomy of the claw fossil shows that it is an enantiornithine bird that became a large group in the Cretaceous period. But the species was extinct along with the dinosaurs at 66 million years ago.

"The fossil of wings shows incredible detail," said Benton.

"Each strand of fur shows each filament, there is even a trace of color - in the form of spots and stripes," he explained.

The researcher leader, Dr Xing Lida of the China University of Geosciences, also commented on the discovery of fossils of the bird's wing.

"The fact that the birds are climbing in the trees show they have advanced development, which means they are ready to move as soon as they hatch," said Xing.

"(After hatching) This bird is not just waiting in the nest to be fed, but they look for their own food and die, perhaps because of its small size and lack of experience," he explained.

The amber deposits of Myanmar produced a treasure trove of fossils from prehistoric times. The fossils also document the evolution of terrestrial life in the Cretaceous period. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]

The name of the world renowned automotive aftermarket components such as Termignoni, Ohlins and others not only managed to make it look fierce, but also able to improve its performance as the king of the streets.

It was not called as a modification motorbike if the aspects of custom parts or the handmade parts of works of the builder does not appear, nor did the Siluro - at least Pepo must be make by handmade some parts such as mudguard, fuel tank, headlight, some covers and protectors which has become a character of its own.

Beautiful all wood-bodied Jeep

Jeep usually use body is made of steel. This is consistent with the character of the vehicle is made to be able to devour all terrains, thus requiring strong material. But what if a Jeep apparently made of wood? This wood-bodied Jeep CJ might not be as tough as its steel-bodied counterparts.

As quoted by the Road and Track on Thursday, June 16, 2016, a beautiful wood-bodied Jeep appears and looks all parts of the body is replaced with wood, even the seats also replaced the wood. Inside the car, the steering wheel is still original and likewise with the transmission lever on the car.

But it is unclear where this car came from. There's not much in the way of a description on either the Youtube video, but it appears to be the work of someone who ran the website called Cherrybronco.com. 

Apparently, a man named Jack built beautiful wood bodies for Jeeps and Ford Broncos, though his website has since gone down. The woodworking here appears to be top-notch, so we'd love to see it in person. Mystery aside, you should still just seen this masterpiece works through the video below:

From the video, the plate says 1960 and I guess this Jeep won't rust like the rest of them. 

Not only Jack, the wooden cars also even made by Toyota. As we all knew, Toyota has introduced a wooden concept car named Setsuna some time ago. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | EWILLYS | R&T]

Sightings a tiny Human-like figure on Mars, Alien or...

More than a decade ago, the odd skeleton measuring 6 inches (15 cm) was found in the Atacama Desert, Chile. The small skeleton, believed to be an extraterrestrial creature who visited and stranded on Earth. Recently, an alien researcher on the Internet, said it had found a mysterious creature, thought to have come from the same species as those Chilean tiny creature.

According to a statement by a Youtube user Paranormal Crucible, quoted by the Daily Mail on Saturday, June 25, 2016, he claimed to see the alien shaped like a tiny human being, behind the Martian rocks.

The original sighting image was taken by Curiosity Rover Mastcam, that showing rocks in the landscape of the red planet. When observed closely, at the bottom center of the photo, Paranormal Crucible find something strange and awkward.

"Irregularities interesting discovered by Rover, looks like a tiny human or Martian lilliputian," wrote Paranormal Crucible in his Facebook account.

"I tried coloring the picture and adding eyes on the head to make it more easily recognizable. They are evident on the original image. To me, those mysterious figure looks like a 6 inches tall Atacama alien," he said.

There are allegations that the little mysterious figure is a Martian woman, if viewed from the 'body'.

An editor of UFOSightings Daily, Scott C. Waring also commented about the sightings of 'living' and 'shrinking' Martian species.

"The figure who looks like a man peering out from behind the rocks. Of the image, I could see the chest, shoulders, arms, knees, and feet," said Waring.

"I agree with the opinion of Paranormal Crucible, which said that the creature measuring 6 inches tall and one of the species that still exist on Mars today, only in smaller quantities. Mars increasingly reveal its mystery one by one," said the editor.

Due to the estimated size, Paranormal Crucible says it 'could be the same species' as the 'Atacama alien.' In 2013, however, it was revealed that DNA tests on the tiny skeleton found in Chile confirmed that the bizarre specimen was not an alien, but a human with an 'interesting mutation'.

However, according to the results of DNA tests conducted in 2013 on the Chilean tiny creature's skeleton, reveals that the creature is in fact not an alien, but a small human figure who had experienced an interesting mutation. (See the article.) *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]
