oculudentavis, a very small, very adorable reptile. it was most likely not a dinosaur but a lepidosaur but I prefer painting feathers

A very quick reconstruction of Oculudentavis, newly described as a hummingbird-sized early bird, based on a tiny head preserved in amber.

There’s uncertainty what kind of animal it actually was, but this is based on it being extremely basal bird, sort of like a miniature raptor.

I usually don't get too excited over the amber stuff, but this is amazing
