O âmbar, embora tenha preservado o fóssil, apresentou um desafio para os cientistas na hora de identificar a nova espécie.

Viktor Baranov, explicou que “o âmbar obscurece muitas das características mais importantes do espécime que permanece fossilizado em seu interior e a microscopia tradicional não nos permite visualizá-las em detalhes“.
