25 million year old frog found

SlashDot reports the discovery of a small frog found preserved in amber, which could be up to 25 million years old! The 10mm long amphibian was discovered by a miner in Chiapas, Mexico, and sold to a private collector. It was then lent to scientists for research purposes. The frog is of the genus Craugastor, whose relatives are still found in that region. Wow!
