Lebanon’s ‘Amber Man’ Digs Up Dinosaur-Age Treasures
Azar, who holds a joint appointment at the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology in China and the Lebanese University, looks at the dirt and rocks in front of him. It doesn’t look like much – but he knows what he’s looking for. In the dirt and rocks at his feet, he spots a piece of amber no bigger than a grain of rice. Then he spots another, and another – shiny gold shards glittering in the sun.
