A well-preserved extinct millipede coiled in yellow amber was found in the Burmese jungle. The fossil, measuring just 8.2 millimeters long, dates back 99 million years to an era known as the Cretaceous Period. /VCG Photo

Researchers claim the ancient arthropod was a member of a previously undiscovered species, and named it "Burmanopetalum inexpectatum," with the latter word meaning "unexpected" in Latin. The rare amber is now owned by a private collector. /VCG Photo
