Oculudentavis
Oculudentavis is an extinct genus of saurian of uncertain taxonomic placement, originally identified as an avialan dinosaur (bird, in the broad sense). It contains a single known species, Oculudentavis khaungraae. The only known fossil of Oculudentavis comprises a complete skull preserved in Burmese amber. The skull was 1.4 centimetres (0.55 in) in length, indicating that Oculudentavis would have been comparable in size to the modern bee hummingbird if it were an avialan. The amber specimen was retrieved from 99-million-year-old deposits of the Hukawng Basin in Kachin State, northern Myanmar. The specimen is embroiled in controversy regarding its identity and the ethical issues surrounding the acquisition and study of Burmese amber.
