A team of researchers have recovered a few cubic centimeters of amber from Northeastern Myanmar that contained the partial remains of two bird wings. These feathers - from the time when dinosaurs still walked the Earth - suggest that bird wings already looked a lot like they do today. One of the scientists involved is Ryan McKellar, Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina.
