Cretaceogekko

''Cretaceogekko'' is an extinct monotypic genus of gecko (represented by the type species ''Cretaceogekko burmae'') known from a single partial specimen preserved in amber from the Early Cretaceous of Burma. The specimen was found in the Hukawng Valley in 2001 and the genus and species were named by E. Nicholas Arnold and George Poinar in 2008. The specimen includes a foot and partial tail. ''Cretaceogekko'' is the oldest known gecko, predating the Late Cretaceous gecko ''Gobekko'' and the Paleogene gecko ''Yanatarogecko'', which has also been preserved in amber.
The preserved foot shows that ''Cretaceogekko'' already possessed the tiny lamellae or ridges on the toe pads that allow modern geckos to cling to vertical surfaces. ''Cretaceogekko'' had a striped skin pattern that probably served as camouflage.〔Science News, ("Oldest Gecko Fossil Ever Found, Entombed In Amber" ) Accessed 3 September 2008.〕
