[postlink]http://palaeotube.blogspot.gr/2011/11/amber-time-machine-15.html[/postlink]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtrN5KWd_Dgendofvid [starttext] The Amber Time Machine is a BBC documentary written and presented by David Attenborough. It was first transmitted in 1994 and is part of the Attenborough in Paradise and Other Personal Voyages collection of 7 documentaries.

The documentary shows Attenborough searching for the identities of preserved creatures inside a piece of Baltic amber that was given to him by his adoptive sister when he was twelve years old. It then shows how a group of scientists can reconstruct an entire twenty million year old ecosystem through pieces of Dominican amber. Examples include a tadpole preserved in amber after falling from a Bromeliad.

Attenborough then discusses the scientific feasibility of DNA being preserved in amber, and the science behind the 1993 hit techno-thriller Jurassic Park, in which David's brother, Richard Attenborough starred as John Hammond. Several attempts were tried, with DNA eventually being recovered from a weevil that was several million years older than Tyrannosaurus rex. Attenborough reasons that a few old, rare pieces of amber may contain DNA. [endtext]
