RE: A tick has been found inside a 99 million year old amber; providing evidence that they fed on dinosaur blood!

Thanks for letting me know about this one, @wanyz! I had not really seen anything about this yet, but I found a BBC article about it. I'll try to find the original source later when I have some more time, and maybe I'll do a post about it ;)

Sort:  

Original source is "A Triassic plesiosaurian skeleton and bone histology inform on evolution of a unique body plan, Tanja Wintrich, Shoji Hayashi, Alexandra Houssaye, Yasuhisa Nakajima, P. Martin Sander, Science Advances, 13 décembre 2017. DOI : 10.1126/sciadv.1701144" But I don't think you could find it on the net :/

Thanks! Here is the paper if you want to take a look at it.
