This specimen features a well-preserved claw from a vertebrate, encased in mid-Cretaceous Burmite (Kachin amber) from Myanmar. The morphology suggests an elongated, gracile digit terminating in a keratinous claw, indicative of arboreal or scansorial adaptations. The fossil exhibits fine details of the ungual phalanx, with curvature and tapering consistent with predatory or perching taxa. This rare specimen provides valuable insight into the paleoecology and diversity of Mesozoic vertebrates within the amber forest ecosystem.
