A 46,000,000-year-old mosquito still had blood inside

A fossilized mosquito preserved for 46,000,000 years was discovered with blood still inside its abdomen a rare snapshot of ancient life frozen in time
Sadly no dinosaur
Imagine if a mosquito was found like this then they sequenced the DNA and it was yours! Sounds like a horror story
That is quite common actually. We call it contaminated sample
“Welcome, to Paleogene Park.”
Admittedly, the kids having to hide in the kitchen from a pack of Eohippi doesn’t hit nearly as hard.
