What would a traveler from the future think if one day s/he could analyze the rocks that are currently forming on the planet? Surely, this person would find quite a few plastic fragments and wonder why this material was so abundant in rocks of a certain age on Earth. This is the same question that geologists and palaeontologists have asked themselves after many years of studying another material: amber, the fossilized resin from the Cretaceous that helps us reconstruct what the forests inhabited by dinosaurs were like.

Department of Foreign Affairs (INQUIRER FILE PHOTO) MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said it is 'not convinced' that the highly-anticipated 'Barbie' film has depicted China's nine-dash line. DFA, in a statement on Wednesday, thanked the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) for the 'joint screening' of the movie Barbie to 'ascertain if the depiction of the imaginary world map is inimical to the national interest.' 'Having carefully reviewed the film, the Department is not convinced that the lines shown depict anything more than a fictitious path in an imaginary world map,' said DFA.
