Possible 10 mm Dinosaur Feather in 100 Million Year Old Amber. Most amber is too young to contain dinosaur feathers, but Burmite is the name for 100 million year old amber found in the Hukawang Valley in northern Burma (Myanmar). These feathers could belong to an early bird or theropod dinosaur because what defines a dinosaur and an early bird is somewhat blurred. Both Coelerasaurs and Tyrannosaurs are known to have been feathered. This 8mm x 10mm clear partial feather is beautifully preserved in a 16 x 5mm polished cabochon of honey colored amber. The branching feather has excellent detail and is symmetric on both sides of the central rachis which means that it is not a flight feather but rather a body, tail or neck feather. Estimate Value $700 - UP
