According to The Sun on March 11th, this dinosaur's head was smaller than a blackberry, completely encased in amber. Its details were also preserved perfectly in amber, and researchers were able to use 3D technology to restore its original structure well.

The report states that this dinosaur lived about 100 million years ago, only 2 inches long and weighed less than 1 ounce (about 28 grams), about the size of a hummingbird. It has huge eyes that can adapt to sunlight. In addition, this dinosaur has dense teeth, about 100 or so. This indicates that dinosaurs may have once hunted insects for a living.
