Scientists believe they have found evidence of a 116-year-old tsunami in amber, potentially the oldest recording of one to date.
Investigating deep-sea sediment on Hokkaido Island in northern Japan, researchers Aya Kubota, Yusuke Takeda, Keewook Yi, Shin-ichi Sano and Yasuhiro Iba discovered “extraordinarily rich amber concentrations” in sediment from the early Cretaceous period, dating to between 116 and 114 million years ago.
