An image of a fossil frog specimen that is being referred to as a new species, Electrorana limoae. Researchers from China and the United States including Xing Lida, Edward Stanley, Bai Ming and David Blackburn have published research on fossil frog specimens discovered intact in Cretaceous-era amber from Myanmar. It's the earliest direct evidence of frogs in wet tropical forests. The specific epithet, limoae, is a matronym in the genitive singular for Mrs Li Mo, who purchased and provided the specimens for study. (Photo/VCG)
