ALBANY, Ore. An Oregon State University scientist famed for his work with specimens in amber, has come up with a new discovery.
George Poinar Jr., whose work uses the same technology displayed in the novel and movie “Jurassic Park,” has identified a new genus and species of flower that is approximately 100 million years old.
“This isn’t quite a Christmas flower but it is a beauty, especially considering it was part of a forest that existed 100 million years ago,” said Poinar, professor emeritus in the OSU College of Science. ....

The outlandish creature is a master of disguise as it uses moss, lichens, and fungi to hide since it can t run away or beat its enemies. This makes a lot of sense to Poinar, a global expert in using animal and plant life forms heavily preserved in amber, to learn more about the ecology and biology of the distant past. ....
