Crab trapped in amber at 99 million years ago is remarkably similar to modern crabs

But by now we know enough to expect that, don’t we?:

A tiny crab is the first to be found trapped in amber from the dinosaur era. It lived in a forest area of South-East Asia 99 million years ago.

Remarkably similar to modern crabs, the 5-millimetre-long crustacean is fully preserved, making it “the most complete crab [fossil] ever discovered”, says Javier Luque at Harvard University.

Was 99 mya a good time for preservation in amber? We can’t find vid of the crab fossil but there is a snake from the same era (and see bird skull noted below):
