Olona krele lincinci lwedinosaur lwafunyanwa eMyanmar, ligcinwe iminyaka engama-99 yezigidi kwisiqwenga se-amber.

Ingxelo yakutshanje epapashwe kwiphephancwadi Indalo Ngokucacileyo ukufunyanwa kohlobo olutsha, iOculudentavis khaungraae, yagqiba kwelona dinosaur lincinci laziwayo lexesha leMesozoic. Igama layo lithetha intaka yamazinyo yamehlo ngenxa yokungaqhelekanga kwayo.

Ukhakhayi luncinci kunolwenyoni, eyona ntaka incinci iphilayo namhlanje. Imihlathi yayo inamazinyo angaphezu kwe-100, nto leyo ebonisa ukuba intaka encinci yedinosaur yayisisilwanyana esidla izinambuzane ezincinci. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba i-paleontologists yafumanisa kuphela ukakayi lwesilwanyana, kusekuninzi okungaziwayo malunga neentlobo.

Ukhakhayi lunezinto ezininzi ezenza ukuba lubonakale phakathi kweefosili. Isangqa samathambo ebesiza kuxhasa iliso siqhelekile koku kufunyanwa kwezinye iilizards namhlanje. Kodwa amathambo akwabonisa ukuba inokuba yayinezinto ezibonakalayo ezinje ngesikhova, nangona yayiya kusebenza emini. Amanye amathambo ahlukile kangangokuba akafumaneki nakwesiphi na isidalwa esiphilayo, kwaye izazinzulu ngezidalwa zamandulo zithi kunzima ukuqonda kakuhle ukuba le ntaka yamazinyo yamehlo ngewayewasebenzise njani amehlo ayo.

Oososayensi banethemba lokuba kwiminyaka eli-10 ezayo baya kuba netekhnoloji yokufikelela kwizicubu ezigcinwe kwi-amber. Besebenzisa olo lwazi, baya kuba nakho ukumisela ulwazi oluthe kratya, njengombala weentsiba zesilwanyana.

Ngethamsanqa esi sidalwa sincinci sigcinwe kwi-amber, kuba izilwanyana ezincinci, ezibuthathaka aziqhelekanga kwingxelo yeefosili, uGqirha Luis Chiappe, usekela mongameli omkhulu wophando kunye nengqokelela kwiMbali yeMbali yeMbali yeLos Angeles County, yatsho kwingxelo . Oku kufumanisa kuyonwabisa kuba kusinika umfanekiso wezilwanyana ezincinci ezazihlala kwihlathi elitshisayo ngexesha le-Dinosaurs.
