It’s a very beautiful novel.
A lot of good praying did *him*.
Crazy that this insect has barely changed in 30m years
Not only has this little fellas insect pals all gone to dust the entire ecosystem, the entire world it knew is gone. The very continent it lived on has shifted its position on the surface of our planet. But it’s still the same. Perfectly preserved as a reminder of that forever lost world of 30 million years ago.
Deep time is mind bending to think about.
Amber is so interesting. I’m going to go watch a video on how things would get trapped in amber back then. I love how it preserves things perfectly. Wish we had a specimen from everything in the past in amber.
Grant’s like me. He’s a digger.
