Scientists think dinosaurs brushed these ancient flowers into pools of tree resin, creating fossils preserved in amber.
Tropidogyne pentapteraGEORGE POINAR JR, OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY A newly described ancient flower, Tropidogyne pentaptera, was found preserved in amber since the Cretaceous period. According to a news release, researchers think it may have gotten stuck in tree resin 100 million years ago, after a dinosaur nudged it from its branches.

When experiments refuse to cooperate, you try again and again. For Rafael Najmanovich, the setbacks ultimately pushed him in a new direction.
