Fossils in Amber Show Us What Earth Looked Like When Dinosaurs Lived

This documentary explores how insects, plants and other ancient life became trapped in tree resin and preserved for millions of years as amber. These golden time capsules offer scientists an extraordinary window onto the forests and creatures that shared the world with the dinosaurs. The film explains how resin formed, hardened and captured tiny moments of prehistoric life in astonishing detail. Fascinating and clearly told, it turns fossilised droplets into vivid glimpses of a lost world. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
