The world's smallest-known dinosaur has been found encased in 99-million-year-old amber. Researchers found a skull measuring about half an inch, that belongs to Oculudentavis khaungraae in Myanmar. They used the specimen to create a computer-generated image of the dinosaur. The resin preserved several details of the creature including 100 sharp teeth & lizard-like eyes. The 100 conical teeth suggested that it hunted insects.
