A newly discovered lizard species is described in the MCZ journal *[Breviora](http://publications.mcz.harvard.edu/index.html?publication=Breviora)* and highlighted by [PBS Nova](https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/paperclip-lizard/). Hardly the size of a paperclip, and entombed in 100-million-year-old amber, it is one of the smallest and most complete Cretaceous lizards ever found.
