    Partial Lizard Inclusion.

    From the album: Burmese Amber

    Parts of a small lizard tail and leg. Mostly hollow, but the distal ends of the tail and foot are preserved. My hypothesis is that the lizard body was partly captured in a resin flow. The majority of the body was then picked out by scavengers, leaving behind a resin cast of the body that was filled in by another resin flow. Scavengers were unable to extract the distal elements.

    Amber Inclusion

    I found this amber inclusion for sale, and my first impression is that it looks like some kind of mammal tail. Maybe it's a plant?
  12. What is this thing? It appears to be some vegetation or a tail of some sort. Could anyone help identify it?
  13. An unusual type of beetle called Cascomastigus monstrabilis, of the subfamily Scydmaeninae or ant-like stone beetles, has a remarkable adaptation of their antennae. The eyelash looking structures called setae give the antennae the ability to serve as a trap to catch their prey, the tiny and numerous Collembola or springtails. The clublike maxilla palps may help to bring them to the beetles jaws. See this reference: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-00187-8.pdf?proof=thttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fsj.bdj.2014.353%3Fproof%3Dt Predator: Here are three Cascomastigus monstrabilis from my collection. They range from 6-9mm long.
  14. This dipteran became stuck in amber approximately 100mya just after eclosing (coming out from its pupal case as a new adult). The shape of the wing indicates it was in the process of unfurling and therefore never took flight.
  15. This piece of amber containing an inclusion of feathers was extensively cracked but had an interesting feature: it appears to show a silver reflective color in a distinct pattern. These tiny feathers have an apparent reflective substance on certain parts of primarily two adjacent feathers that show this pattern. In some angles a silver color is visible. How common is this? Do you think this is an actual color on whatever bird/non-avian dino it was a part of?

    Myanmar Amber ([Unnamed Fm.], 99.34-98.10 Ma)

    From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    Coleoptera with exuded gas bubbles; these are likely methane, and could be the by-product of methanogenic bacteria inside a xylophagous (wood-eating) species. Some adult members of the Cetoniinae subfamily (family: Scarabaeidae) are xylophagous and known to produce methane; while this is known from Recent species, it's possible such characteristics could be found in extinct members of the Scarabaeidae or Scarabaeoidea (superfamily). This inclusion is contained in the same specimen depicting pholadid crypts. Provenance of specimen is Tanai Township, Myitkyina District, Myanmar. This image was captured using a HAYEAR HY-1070 microscope.

    Myanmar Amber ([Unnamed Fm.], 99.34-98.10 Ma)

    From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    Polished specimen containing sediment/calcite-filled domichnia (burrows/crypts) formed by mollusks of the family Pholadidae (likely subfam. Martesiinae): these features were formed while the resin was in a marine environment and after it had sufficiently hardened, all preceding its burial and subsequent diagenesis. Provenance of specimen is Tanai Township, Myitkyina District, Myanmar. This image was captured using a HAYEAR HY-1070 microscope.

    Myanmar Amber ([Unnamed Fm.], 99.34-98.10 Ma)

    From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    Bundle of root trichomes (possibly fern), isopod exuvia, and mite, all contained in the same specimen depicting pholadid crypts. Provenance of specimen is Tanai Township, Myitkyina District, Myanmar. This image was captured using a HAYEAR HY-1070 microscope.

    Myanmar Amber ([Unnamed Fm.], 99.34-98.10 Ma)

    From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    Liverwort belonging to the family Lejeuneaceae, contained within the same specimen depicting pholadid domichnia; adjacent to it, is a small root trichome, possibly that of a fern (such trichomes are commonly observed in Myanmar amber, comparable to the presence of stellate "oak" trichomes in Baltic amber). Provenance of specimen is Tanai Township, Myitkyina District, Myanmar. This image was captured using a HAYEAR HY-1070 microscope.

  20. Here is a Cretaceous Burmite Midge that appears to show preservation of the indirect flight muscles in one hemithorax. Indirect flight muscles distort the thorax cuticle from the inside to indirectly move the insect’s wings and power flight. While this level of microscopy cannot prove the tissue is muscle, it seems likely that the two sets of power muscles for flight are visible in this fossil: six dorsolongitudinal muscles (DLM) and six dorsoventral muscles (DVM). There are smaller muscles that play a role in guidance and directional movement that may be present but cannot be unambiguously determined without better tools. This midge is on the surface of the amber on its mid-sagittal plane with half of the insect gone.

    Proterosceliopsis sp.

    Proterosceliopsidae are parasitoid wasps that lay their eggs on or in the bodies of other arthropods, sooner or later causing the death of these. This is a female. Taxonomy according to Fossilworks.org. Diagnosis for the family Proterosceliopsidae according to Talamas et al. 2019, p. 20: “Antenna with 14 or 15 antennomeres; malar sulcus present (Fig. 7); facial striae absent (Fig. 7); malar striae absent (Fig. 7); pronotal cervical sulcus present as a furrow of fine setation associated with glandular excretion (Figs 16, 48–49, 51–53, 59); mesopleuron with transepisternal line and mesepimeral sulcus (Figs 16, 51–53, 59, 63); T3–T5 and S3–S5 anteriorly with depressions associated with glandular excretion (Figs 29, 34, 56, 58, 62).” Several very similar looking species have been described from amber deposits in Myanmar: P. ambulata, P. plurima, P. torquata, P. masneri, P. nigon and P. wingerathi. A more exact assignment is not possible for me. Identified by oilshale as Proterosceliopsis sp. using Talamas et al. 2019. References: Ortega-Blanco J., McKellar R. C,, Engel M. S. (2014): Diverse scelionid wasps in Early Cretaceous amber from Spain (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea). Bulletin of Geosciences 89: 553–571. https://doi.org/10.3140/bull.geosci.1463 . Talamas, E. J., Johnson, N. F., Shih, C. K., and Ren, D. (2019): Proterosceliopsidae: A new family of Platygastroidea from Cretaceous amber. Journal of Hymenoptera Research. 73:3-38.
